Do you have a low end G4? Or do you not have the best video card? And is your computer very slow?
Well that is nothing to be afraid of, today I will give you 5 tips about how to speed up you Mac.
1. DOCK, if you have OS X Leopard, make sure that your dock is not 3d (unless you have a video card with more then 32mbs of RAM) This will make the dock look smoother as well as speeding up your computer, don't forget to turn of the Genie effect. Don't overdue the magnification as well.
2. HARD DRIVE, always keep your hard drive clean, this applies to all computer. Don't overload the desktop, delete applications you do not need and keep your folders clean.
3. MEMORY, Mac OS X is always RAM hungry, give it more RAM to make is satisfied. The more, the better. This is for all computers, just noting, once you get more the 8gbs of RAM, you won't really notice the difference unless you are a gamer.
4. Disable Dashboard and spotlight, Dashboard and spotlight use up a LOT of memory, unless you have a high end mac, disable both of these features. A simple google search will tell you how to do so.
5. REBOOT, rebooting your computer frees up RAM and makes a difference. I recommend you to shut down your computer during night, then you will get a fast computer when you wake up.
