[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647541, member: 56379"] I'm not surprised. You started will 8gig of ram (a fairly good amount). Throwing more ram (16 gig) at things was really not going to help in this situation. If you only had 2gig…that would be a different story. What you want to figure out is…do you have a software or hardware problem. An easy way to do this is…boot the computer from a "virgin" source. A good way to do this is to use an empty external hard drive. - Erase & reformat it. - Install a fresh copy of the Mac OS (nothing else). - Boot the computer with this external drive. - See if you still have choppy video. * Nick [/QUOTE]
