[QUOTE="blinkin357, post: 677513, member: 31357"] [b]Reinstall OS X[/b] We took our MacPro the Genius Bar at the Apple store recently for performance problems and other issues and they advised us to reset the OS by re-running the Leopard install DVD but warned not to erase files. Afterwards, we re-installed the latest OS X upgrade to bring it back to where it was. We didn't notice improvements but it might work better for you. We primarily run CS3 and, per instructions from Photoshop people, we set the Photoshop Preferences/Performance to use 79% of the 9gb of RAM. Because of this, we try not to run too many other applications that are restricted to run in the remaining 21% of RAM. Also, we have a large area of internal disk space set aside exclusively for Photoshop scratch files. We shut off background applications that we don't need such as Widgets. [/QUOTE]
