[QUOTE="mandav, post: 1527818, member: 292022"] I have a Macbook with following specs: HD 159 GB Currently available: 16.5 GB OS X Version 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) Memory 2 GB Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I recently upgraded from V. 10.6 to v. 10.8.4 Mountain Lion My operating speed has reduced significantly - whenever I want to open an application or even a file, I get the multi-coloured revolving circle, and it takes some time for a positive response. This slow-down seems to have followed the upgrading of my operating system - not sure if it's just a co-incidence and there's some other problem lurking:Confused:. From the specs I've given above, is the slowdown due to extra strain on my system caused by installation of Mountain Lion? Do I now have insufficient Memory or HD capacity? I am in the process of going through my files to delete as much unnecessary items as possible and increase available space on my HD, but not sure if this is the answer.(I am using Secure Empty Trash when clearing out deleted files from Trash) Any suggestions or solutions for my problem will be highly appreciated [/QUOTE]
