Do i have any other options besides getting more ram. IF i delete a bunch of applications and programs i dont use would that help? I cant afford to by more ram at the moment.

To determine if you can benefit from more RAM, launch Activity Monitor and click the System Memory tab at the bottom to check your page outs. Page outs are cumulative since your last restart, so the best way to check is to restart your computer and track page outs under your normal workload (the apps, browser pages and documents you normally would have open). If your page outs are significant (say 1GB or more) under normal use, you may benefit from more RAM. If your page outs are zero or very low during normal use, you probably won't see any performance improvement from adding RAM.Do i have any other options besides getting more ram.

Why is it that the only option i have is getting more ram.
Read my last post about determining if RAM is your problem. Also, there is no way to "free up space on the RAM". It's not like a hard drive that can permanently store data. It's just a temporary workspace that is cleared on every reboot. You didn't answer the earlier question about how long it's been since you shut down or restarted your Mac.Why is it that the only option i have is getting more ram. Their must be a way to free up space on the ram or something. This doesnt make any sense to me that the computer worked fine for so long but now it needs more ram.

my sister had a book like this understanding computer for dummies it was pretty good I learn a couple of this , can't wait until next week to hear about water cooling lolSit down because you are about to get schooled on how a balenced computer works

The case is where it all starts it hold all the componets that include ram, motherboard, graphics card, power supply, processor, heatsink, hdd, ssd what have you
The processor is like the brain it thinks about things you don't want a retarded processor thats like duh I don't go very fast i'm a powermac g5 quad this part gets very hot and needs to be cooled with a metal thing called a heatsink
The ram is its attenion span or train of thought the longer the train of thought then the faster your computer can focus on something and accomplish it,
the hdd or ssd is like an office the bigger the office then the more space it has to work with and its not all crammed in there and gets stressed trying to find something. the office should be regularly organized using disk utility
The graphics card is what paints the pretty pictures up on screen.
The power supply or battery in this case is how much sleep your computer got last night and determines how long it can stay awake.
Join me next week class where we will be talking all about water cooling and what it can do for you
