[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1810468, member: 190607"] No version of the Macintosh operating system EVER intrinsically had a rotating beachball problem. Has your Mac Pro always had this problem, or is it just recent? If the problem is just recent, then unless you are running software that you didn't run previously, the problem isn't with the specifications of your machine. (i.e. if your Mac ever ran just fine with the amount of RAM currently installed, and with the same exact software setup, then the problem isn't suddenly that you need more RAM.) How full is your hard drive and what is it's total capacity? A boot (startup) hard drive that is around 80% full or more is, for all intents and purposes, FULL, and will cause your Mac to run poorly and can even lead to data loss. Have you run Hardware Test? Have you run Disk Utility/Repair Disk? For lots of potential help, see: Macintosh Beachballs! [url=http://www.macattorney.com/rbb.html]Macintosh OS X Beachballs![/url] [/QUOTE]
