Hi there,
I'm the mostly happy owner of a new iMac...except it feels slower than my 1.25Ghz Al Powerbook... Applications take ages to open and switch, fast user switching is anything but - and iPhoto / Photoshop Elements are just grim.
The Powerbook has 1GB RAM and runs like a dream, the iMac has 512MB and doesn't.
Can RAM make that much difference? The iMac's XBench score looks fine (166.61), so I'm left thinking it must be needing more memory.
Any suggestions? How much RAM has everyone got in their shiney new iMacs?
Thanks!
Dave
