[QUOTE="Adam_X, post: 881758, member: 30121"] Thank You very much for the reply and trying to help me with my system, I appreciate what you are saying, its not noise from the bearings it is the noise of the fan as it whirls rounds and the air that is being expelled from the machine. In response to your reply, if I am having to use lots of virtual memory this could generate heat from the HD if the HD is having to be used less this could create less heat and the fan won't have to used as much. So it is a possibility that RAM could help out a little? Should a 2.0 GHz processor struggle and generate lots of heat when playing back YouTube videos? It would seem my machine is super starved of RAM I have included a screen shot from Activity Monitor [IMG]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1625/picture19flj.png[/IMG] If anyone could add any further advice or add to this conversation as to wether RAM would be a suitable option then please leave your thoughts in this thread Many Thanks Adam [/QUOTE]
