Hey, I'm new to MacForums, and am having some trouble with my mac
I have an iBook G4 which I bought in the summer of 05. I have been using constantly ever since, and rarely turn it off (I usually just put it to sleep). It used to run perfectly, but lately its been running terribly slow. So slow that I usually have to wait at least 30 seconds to open a new internet browser or to switch between tabs on safari.
I have an 80 GB hard drive with 20 GB free, and 512 MB RAM. I don't think that the issue is with my RAM, because my computer used to run perfectly fine.
I have tried running programs such as Omni Disk Sweeper, Monolingual, and Mac Sweeper, but none of these ever seem to do anything for me. Does anybody have any suggestions for what I can do to get my Mac running as if it were brand new again?
Thanks for the help!
