I have a Mid 2007 20 inch Aluminum iMac and I just installed 4GBs of RAM on Friday(not sure if that has any correlation with this problem but thought I should mention it) and I have been having trouble with loading websites. It seems to be an intermittent problem because it will be working perfectly fine and extremely fast at one moment and then a minute later it won't load any web content/emails/web based widgets/itunes store etc. To make sure it wasn't my internet connection I tested it on my iPhone, my roommates 4 year old powerbook AND my other roomates HP laptop. Is there any solution to this issue or has anyone else encountered it? Thanks.

A few questions:

- Have you tried a different browser?
- Have you noticed the rest of the computer slowing down too, or just anything to do with the internet?
- Are you connecting wireless, or wired?
- When you say you tested it, you mean while yours was slow you checked the other machines right?
- Is there anything predictable about it? Like can you set it off manually?
- Have you tried creating a test user to see if the problems persist?
- Do you know you can save money on car insurance by switching to Geico?

Is your software up to date? 10.5.0 has DHCP issues. make sure you are on 10.5.4.

Thanks for the feedback... I actually talked to Apple and all they told me to do was reset the browser because I might have a "corrupt cookie". I was surprised that's all I needed to do but it actually worked.
