Sorry Simba. I Need Your Help. iMac Slowing Down.
Over the last week, the computer has started to get bogged down really easily and apps will freeze momentarily whilst the computer thinks.
Its the last white iMac with the intel core ( 2.33ghz 2gb 10.4.11 ) and its got about 140gb of space left on it.
Iv'e down the disk utility thing. And I don't really have anything on it that I don't need program wise.
Any ideas?

What a surprise, a slow Apple computer.
Sad how 2 Thousand dollar IMac comes with 4GB ram. I built my desktop 2 years ago, not only did it cost half the price but specification wise beats every mac built to this day.
Try more RAM.

Try:
-Repairing Permissions and Disk (Disk Utility)
-Restarting
-Ensuring less programs are running in the background or start up with your computer
-More RAM (if that is an option)
-I've had good luck reloading my OS every 2+ years, cleans out all that stuff I'm not using. Maybe a time to go to 10.6?
-Move large files/folders off of your desktop
-Delete porn.
