[QUOTE="Buckwheat, post: 1048453, member: 153507"] So I bought this horribly old Macbook, one of those during Tiger. I started it, my girlfriend jumped it while I was looking for a cable and cheered over being able to play Farmville and Treasure Isle (Flash games) at the same time without it being slow and yadi yadi Mac was the best and so forth. Truth to be told I was a bit impressed myself that it handled two terrible games with even worse code so well... Anyways - Got a Snow Leopard disk, wiped the entire thing and installed it instead. Today she comes back to play 'so smoooth' and... It's not anymore. It's again rather slow, quite like on any PC... Things I can see being at fault here: Snow Leopard eats alot more resources than Tiger, but then other things should be slowed down too... Safari was updated and is now slower - In which case how do I downgrade? Or flash got updated and apparently got worse - In which case how do I downgrade Or those games changed code for no particular reason, but then that'd transfer to getting even worse on a PC.... Or lastly - I've installed something that's killing the computer, but the activity monitor didn't show anything abnormal - I only got Echofon and Microsofts MSN Messenger running.. EDit: Or does the Macbook do this silly thing where it slows down if it gets warm and I just overuse it? What's the deal here and how do I get back to that smooth soft and silky experience? [/QUOTE]
