[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647510, member: 56379"] Ok no problem…it happens.:) The ram in your computer currently is 2gig…and the computer has 2 ram slots. More than likely that ram is 2 x 1gig sticks of ram (both slots full). So if you purchased a 4gig stick of ram…you would end up with a total of 5gig (4gig + 1gig). Check out the ram upgrades on this page: [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400]Apple iMac Memory upgrades for Aluminum 20" and 24" models with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz, or 3.06GHz processor[/url] You'll see that 4gig sticks of ram are very expensive. - A 4gig ram upgrade (2 x 2gig) costs $52.79. - A single 4gig stick of ram by itself is $107.99 - The 6gig upgrade (4gig + 2gig) is $134.59 So as you can see…a 4gig upgrade is $52.79…and a 6gig ram upgrade is a MUCH higher $134.59. This is why I said that the 6gig upgrade is VERY expensive compared to the 4gig upgrade (2 x 2gig). Ok good deal. Since you just did this OS upgrade…it's very very strange you are having these problems. If it were me…I would either completely reformat & erase the internal HD (but you would lose your installed stuff)…so you would need to back everything up. Then do a fresh install of the OS. Or...boot the computer from an external HD…with only a fresh OS install on it…and see if that helps. All I can say is…with the problems you are describing (which weren't there before)…that you may have some sort of a software issue at the moment. - Nick [/QUOTE]
