Ok so I have a somewhat old Imac G5, not that old, i'd say only about meh, 3-4 years? It has 2GB of RAM. I have 3.5 GB free.
But this thing is SLOWWW. And I can't figure out for the life of me why!!!
Someone help me out. This thing used to be fast but now as I am typing my fucking typing is all laggy.

Im not great at this stuff but 3.5GB left on your harddrive? Maybe all the data is slowing it down

Currently have 7.3 GB, ran disk repair, restarted, everything. Seems a little faster, not as bad. But certainly nothing huge.
Seems to be running ok now...ish.
