Oops! You're right. I was thinking 4 GB. My mom's iMac (early 2009) came
with 2 GB of RAM and slowed to a sluggish crawl after upgrading to
Yosemite due to pageouts to a slow hard drive using just the basic
applications like Safari, Mail, and iLife apps. Swapping out one of the
1 GB chips for a 4 GB chip for a total of 5 GB of RAM let it breath
again, and it's now zippy as it should be.
