With a 2008 IMac that has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, it is extremely slow when working with 1920 X 1080 video files. Is there any way to increase the processing speed when working with these larger files?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 3GB Memory, 800 MHz DDR2, SD RAM
You can upgrade the ram to 6gb using 1 - 4gb stick and 1 - 2gb stick.
No. The GPU is not strong enough to handle large images quickly. Get new model.
Some software installation choices can cause slowness. Do any of the following questions apply?
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?
