[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1663844, member: 56379"] The first thing you MUST do is get rid of all these "crapware" programs!!! They REALLY are not necessary. And in some cases are problematic & detrimental to the smooth running of the computer. Yosemite handles ram differently. What you want to learn more about is "Memory Pressure". Which can be monitored in Activity Monitor. You may also want to read this (the Memory Pressure section specificially): [url]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201464[/url] Regardless of the question mentioned above. 4gig of ram would be my absolute minimum. 8gig would be better.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
