[QUOTE="Bikarbonat, post: 1192946, member: 193664"] I have the 21,5" iMac i3 3.2ghz with 4gb of ram and I have som problems after playing back HD-movies. My iMac goes really slow after watching movies in HD. Applications take a really long time to quit or start and it feels almost unusable. A restart of the computer seems to bring everything back to normal. I managed to run Activity Monitor today after watching a 720p mkv file with VLC with a couple of others apps running, like Firefox and iTunes. It shows that I use up almost all of my RAM, 3,8 gb and it seems to still use it even after I manage to quit the applications. I ran a Hardware Test and it says everthing is fine. So what can cause this problem? Havnt found an answer to it. I feel like it shouldnt use up all RAM like that. /Joakim [/QUOTE]
