Problems with new Imac

[toohuge]

I have just got a new Imac, a basic 20" model. Safari and iphoto seem to crash a lot of the time. Is this normal? Also, will upgrading the ram in the machine make a lot of difference?

Thanks

Thank you very much for all the advice. The reason i posted was that this is brand new, it arrived on thursday and i have not installed anything myself. It came from the iansyst people (education authorities) very kind of them!

I have not installed any apps myself, it has the latest version of Word on it, some palm software and some educational programmes.

That is why i posted, it seemed odd that straight out of the box things went wrong. I'll call them on monday and see what they say. It's simply unacceptable.

Thanks for the advice on the ram, use www.macupgrades.co.uk this site is great for advice on all macs and offers 2gb of ram for these machines at £40 each so i am going to order two sticks to give it the full noise.

Cheers
