[QUOTE="Drummerd99, post: 708923, member: 56554"] I have a Mac Pro with a 30" HD display. The CPU is the Xeon Dual Core 2.66 Mhz and I have 2 Hard drives a 250 and a 750 GB. The system has 5 GB of Ram and an ATI X1900 Video Card. Is there a way to get this system sped up - to take full advantage of all the "goodies" I have under the hood? I ama digital photographer and use CS3 and Lightroom 2 - and I feel that the system could be running faster. When I am retouching in Lightroom I get the dreaded "beach ball". That drives me crazy! Is there a site that would have info on supercharging the system - or a book that is available? Any help will be appreciated. I am now a Mac Addict since last year when I switched from the "dark side" of Windows. Thanks [/QUOTE]
