[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1649397, member: 56379"] Yes Yosemite is OS X. But OS X is on it's 11th version. These are all OS X: - 10.0: "Cheetah" - 10.1: "Puma" - 10.2: "Jaguar" - 10.3: "Panther" - 10.4: "Tiger" - 10.5: "Leopard" - 10.6: "Snow Leopard" - 10.7: "Lion" - 10.8: "Mountain Lion" - 10.9: "Mavericks" - 10.10: "Yosemite" Get the idea. You can't just say…my "Mac's are running OS X."…when there are 11 different versions of OS X!:) You said that these computers were running OS 10.6. They could have been upgraded to 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, or 10.10. That's why I needed you to be specific which OS X version they were upgraded to.:) Yes that is ram.:) If these computers were running OS X version 10.6 previously…and are now running Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)…Yosemite is FOUR VERSIONS NEWER. That's a lot of extra "overhead" for an older computer to deal with. And with only 2gig of ram…this will not help. 4gig of ram would be a lot better. And many folks say that 8gig of ram for Yosemite is best. And yes I know. These older computers may not be able to have their ram upgraded that far. And of course there's the expense of upgrading them too. As you may see…a free OS upgrade to Yosemite is not as "free" as it appears. Upgrading a computer to an OS version that is 4 versions newer is a lot to ask…plus having a small amount of ram. This is almost like having a Ford Focus automobile..and asking it to pull the same load as a 18-wheel tractor-trailer. It really would have been a great idea to have posted a question here first..asking if upgrading these computers to Yosemite was a good idea (before doing the actual upgrade).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
