Hey,

Im just getting back into using my macbook pro as my primary computer and i forgot how badly it ran.

It's the 2.1ghz core2duo 1gb model.

I experience a lag in typing when i switch to an adium window, fire fox regularly crashes and has massive slow downs and just running four or five tabs in a browser will cause the CPU fan run at full speed.

It really is just a general slow down of the system, from playing video to browsing it just seems to be gittery without any sounds from the disk.

This problem has been consistent since I got it and i'm not sure what it is. Now that its my main machine I'd love to resolve it.

Give it a bit of TLC by running the maintenance schedules with programs like Onyx or MainMenu

Also if you are running Leopard (or even Tiger) then consider upping the RAM to at least 2 gig

I second that Onyx and 2 GB of RAM will make very smooth.
