[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1116208, member: 56379"] Three things: - If your Macbook has been running fine since December 2006...and you installed VMware Fusion recently...that could have contributed to the current problem. - Your Macbook may be hot...but it's probably not unusually hot. Typically when folks say "my Macbook is running hot"...it's between 75-90°C. You need to find out how hot your computer is. Try this program: [url=http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html]Temperature Monitor: Description[/url] - if you have a 160 gig hard drive in your Macbook...formatted capacity I think is around 149gig. So if you currently have 134gig on it...that's 90% full...and yes...that could be contributing to the problem (slowness). So bottom line is: - running VMware Fusion (and associated programs within VMware Fusion) is probably causing the extra heat - your 90% full hard drive is probably responsible for the slowness Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
