[QUOTE="6string, post: 1031975, member: 120039"] As for suggestions for overall performance. Mac's are great like that.... they require very little to no maintenance really :) Just keep at least 10-15% or more of your hard drive free, stay on top of emptying your trash, keep your desktop as free of icons, links, etc. as possible. ie. What I do, is create a folder on my desktop, and keep all my desktop items in there. Keep as few login items at start up as possible (which you will find in system preferences>accounts), and stay up to date with your updates for Apple and 3rd party applications. As for running OnyX, best not to run it more than once every 1-3 months, which you should really only use the automation tab, unless there are specific things that you are targeting. Other than that all I can think of at the moment is to enjoy using your Mac. :D [/QUOTE]
