[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1547602, member: 46727"] Your memory usage looks OK, nothing out of the norm. It would probably help to up the memory to at least 8 GB which would mean removing the 2 x 2 GB modules and replacing them with 2 x 4 GB modules. Also you might wish to download and run the free OnyX which is an optimizing utility. OnyX for Mavericks can be downloaded from [URL="https://www.macupdate.com/app/iphone/11582/onyx"]here[/URL]. Run it in automatic mode. Also - keep an eye on your hard drive. Like I advised you before, you should use a SMART utility to check the hard drive. OnyX will check the SMART status of your hard drive but only at a high level. [/QUOTE]
