[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1304662"] Macs do not require the "management" that Windows PCs do. Isn't that nice? I agree with all the advice given above, and will add only this: Mac OS X likes to have LOTS of free space available, particularly if you start getting ambitious with what you are doing with it (like large image files and HD video). So be sure to keep LOTS of free space available on the drive at all times (like, we're talking a few dozen GBs). OS X also likes as much RAM as you can afford to give it -- I'd recommend 4GB for normal uses, 8GB if you're into prosumer stuff, and more if your machine can take it or you're doing some pro-level work.
