Hey All -

I have been having some issues with my iMac lately. Now I have seen some issues with the new alu imacs freezing up, but mine is a little older so i doubt it is the same issue (let me know if i am wrong there!)

My compy:

1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo (running Tiger, everything current)
1.5 GB ram
180 GB HD

Now lately whenever i try to open programs (Firefox, iTunes, etc.) it takes a bit longer than usual to open them than it ever has. When I go to sites like youtube, myspace, or even here sometimes) the program freezes up, but the system does not hang. On first run of iTunes it loads and then freezes the program. I can still force quit and reopen and other programs seem to run as normal. This seems to be getting more and more frequent. I ran disk utility and OnyX and nothing seems to get this back on track. Any ideas what is going on here? Let me know what other info anyone might need to help. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
