[QUOTE="MattGiaco, post: 387511, member: 29112"] One other thing that might cause this, especially if it's intermittent, is running PPC applications using Rosetta. A big culprit is Mac Office 2004. You can get a list of your applications and their type by going to System Profiler --> Software --> Applications. I noticed a well-equipped iMac at the Apple store running slow as you described. When I looked at what was running, all of the MS Office apps were running. When I quit them, it came right back up to speed. The problem could be worse with just 512mb of RAM. [/QUOTE]
