[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1170078, member: 56379"] It's really hard to say what the deal is. What I mean...maybe your computer is having issues or maybe it's not. You didn't tell us the specs on your old iMac...but let's say I assume that it was a 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo iMac...which depending on your computing tasks still could/would be a good computer. What I'm trying to say is...it really depends on what you do on your computer. If you compare a 4 year-old Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz iMac to a 2010 27" i5 2.8ghz iMac...and if all you're doing is surfing the internet & checking e-mail...then you may not be pushing your new computer enough to see the performance difference. For example if you were doing some heavy duty photo or video editing...or playing some demanding games...then you would clearly see a difference between the two computers. But internet surfing & e-mail are not "super demanding" tasks to challenge the new computer. Of course I'm only guessing with the limited information given.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
