I bet most of you know about this trick but I was so excited to learn it I thought I would share.
I was having some trouble with my video Ram (Tech Tool reported a fail after I noticed slowdown on WOW). I called Apple and the guy had me do this series.
Press and hold down power button until it shuts off
Press power button normally to begin startup while pressing {apple, opt, P, R}. I held it down until the chime happened twice. This not only fixed my problem, I think it made my machine a bit quicker as well.
Apparently this resets the video and regular ram.
Just thought you all might be interested.
