This seems to indicate something, but I'm not sure what.Īlso how did you get OSX 10.6 (a 5 year old OS released in August 28, 2009) onto a 2 year old iMac that presumably came with 10.8 or 10. The total amount of RAM: Free + Wired + Active + Inactive appears to sum up to exactly 32GB this happens to be the max amount of RAM that a number of 2009 (and newer) iMacs models support.

If the reinstall fails to fix the issue there is probably some kind of hardware issue maybe a HD that's gone bad or some RAM/motherboard component that has become defective over time. By an extremely large margin most cleanup for Mac OS X is quackery and not worth. Your best and probably only option is to see if a OS reinstall fixes the issue. I seem to recall that wired memory is memory allocated for use by the OS that will never be swapped out by the VM (Virtual Memory) so it's rather puzzling how it ended up with 32GB.

Looking at the memory usage I would guess that you have a 2GB mac (2048MB = 790MB Free + 454MB wired + 412MB active + 392MB Inactive) which implies that wired memory should be 454MB which is pretty normal.

I'm not seeing anything really strange other than the 32GB of wired memory.
