[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1030567, member: 56231"] Firstly, welcome to Mac-Forums; and congratulations on a thorough report of the problem. Lag is often a sign of a logic board malfunction rather than OS or hard drive. Your iMac is about two years old, judging by the specs you've given, which suggests that it's out of warranty. If you have ongoing AppleCare, you may get the logic board tested, and replaced if necessary, at minimum cost. In any event, I'd recommend that you take your iMac to an Apple technician for thorough hardware analysis. [/QUOTE]
