[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1294019, member: 56379"] It sounds to me like you've changed the tasks that you're demanding of your computer. The specs of your computer were probably fine for the things you were doing previously...but since it sounds like you're now using LR,PS, and Final Cut Pro...your computer's specs may not be enough for "speedy" progress of your projects. You're current computer can certainly get the job done (as you're experiencing)...it will just take longer than a faster computer. Since you only have 2 gig of ram currently...a ram upgrade may help. But depending on how many of these video projects you have...and if you are doing them for "fun" or as part of your occupation...you could certainly use a much faster computer...possibly with at least a quad-core cpu. All three of the programs you mentioned (Lightroom, Photoshop, and Final Cut Pro) require a lot of computing horsepower to run them quickly so you can "chug" through projects rapidly. Some folks doing this sort of work purchase the highest end Mac Pro's...and even these computers can sometimes slow down with BIG projects. So back to the original statement in this thread...I do not think reinstalling Snow Leopard will do anything to significantly change the speed of your computer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
