I got a brand new "super fast" Macbook pro with 1.5 gigs of ram. I find it really slow to load the applications, etc. The multicolor rosetta is frequently spinning.

Is there a way to get the thing running faster?

I frequently update the softwares. run the disc application for correcting authorisations, restart the machine, etc.

Thanks,

ca

my imac is super slow on office 2004, but works fine on my copy of photoshop CS (PowerPC) so i think it depends on the program
