Running low on HD space and/or RAM will cause it to slow down.

Additionally HD's ware out. If you have upgraded the RAM, then you may need a larger or faster HD.


For RAM and HD upgrades, check out > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR3_2009

In the end, it might actually be best to replace it with a new model.
