[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1449321, member: 110816"] Welcome to Mac-Forums In my opinion, people who have a machine they are happy with under their current OS have the best experience when upgrading. Before we suggest an upgrade, let's first fix what is ailing your current machine. Can you go to About this Mac under the Apple logo on the top left an tell us what it says as far as your Mac is and how much memory you have. Also open up Finder and look at the status bar at the bottom and tell us how much disk space you have free. Assuming you have 1GB of memory, your Mac might be able to use up to 4GB of memory and if so, the upgrade will make a big difference in overall performance. The next thing is to ensure that you have ample free space. Next is to run a program like [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/"]OnyX[/URL] and have it clean things out for you. Lastly, running Disk Utility to repair permissions might be a good thing. Let's start with this and see where to go from here.. [/QUOTE]
