[QUOTE="lil, post: 167242"] I think the thing to ask is have you had this software since you got it and has it always been 'slow'? If not - then something maybe a amiss. The memory upgrade would of course help so there is no denying that. Is there anything you installed recently, and since then it has got slower? And also consider running Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilties) and selecting CPU and sorting descending the list to see what is taking the most CPU cycles. That may give you a hint. Also make sure in Power settings that the system is set to Better Performance. But for sure the memory upgrade would help, but it's be nice to also know what has caused the slowdown as such. I have the same model PBook as you but the 1.5GHz model with 768MB, Tiger - and it runs absolutely fine and use similar apps so I can vouch that such slowness shouldn't occur as such. Vicky [/QUOTE]
