[QUOTE="giulio, post: 354401, member: 28677"] Did your iMac come with a desktop or laptop hard drive? I find that to be the dilemma on my mini. I have a 5.1 iMac (Oct 06) and it's super duper zippy. My neighbor has one from around the same time as you (its a 4.1 iMac) and it's super duper zippy as well. You should run MenuMeters. It'll tell you everything about your machine in a glance. You can see the bottleneck as it happens. When you ask "*** is taking so long??", the menu replies "RAM is full, chill out." or "CPU pinned, take a nap" or "Hard drive is busy, go get coffee".
