[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1620019, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info. The performance issues could have totally been a result of not knowing how to keep things running optimally. We get folks posting all the time with performance issues (used to be fast…now it's not). This usually comes down to a user not really understanding how to keep a Macintosh computer running properly…and what to check when things start to seem slower than previously (just being honest).:) Many times…this can simply be due to a hard drive starting to fail (but many other possibilities or combinations of possibilities as well). Kernel panics are usually hardware based…but sometimes it's software. If it's a hardware problem…then the defective hardware needs to be replaced. Usually ram is the only thing an end user can replace…but "bad ram" is many times responsible for kernel panics. If software is the kernel panic problem…sometimes it's due to various software apps not "behaving" well with each other. Uninstall the problem app/apps…and things can improve. Of course it is also possible that this computer did have problems that really couldn't be simply addressed via what I mentioned above. This really wouldn't be an "iMac's as a whole problem"…but an individual computer problem. iMac's as a whole are great computers!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
