[QUOTE="Poppa*Toppa, post: 844088, member: 100522"] Ok, been a sparodic Mac user for a number of years now but don't personally own on (PC user you see) but I'm now working in design and am using them on a daily basis. I own a PC for games and design apps and keep my machine nice and healthy with the usual utilities and display driver reinstalls etc. I am now using a dual screen Power Mac G5 with 1.5GB of Ram and Radeon 9600 GPU, not sure on the CPU clock speed as yet and only 4GB left on a 150GB HDD. My machine is very laggy particularly in Aperture and Photoshop takes forever to render gaussian blurs etc which for a Mac should be a doddle. The machines are also left on overnight for auto OS and registry cleaning but I don't think this is making much difference. I do find however that if I switch the machine off during the day for 10 or 15 minutes things do improve for a bit. Can anyone give me some guidance on these issues and what ACTUAL control I have over the OS particularly background applications and what utilities I could use to optimize the OS. I heard about Onyx and iDefrag, do these programs work? Would MacPilot make much of a difference? Thanks [/QUOTE]
