Hi,
I have a fairly old macbook. I still use O.S. 10.6.8 because the hardware is too old for a software update! My mac is really slow, sometimes when I'm using logic express I get error messages telling me my mac's too slow to use it. I've recently moved all my files onto an external hard drive and deleted my previous account so I could start fresh without loosing my applications but this hasn't really made the situation much better. Is there anything else I can do before reformatting my disk? I don't have the original os x disk and I'm worried if I use the internet to reinstall os x it will try and download the latest version which my mac can't use. Also I have apps such as logic express which I would loose and I can't afford to buy them again... the only reason I'm doing this is to use that app!
