[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1557879, member: 46727"] You can try running a maintenance and clean up utility to see if it speeds things up somewhat for you. The only one we recommend is OnyX. It's free and can be downloaded from [URL="https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx"]here[/URL]. Make sure you download the version for Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Also, your machine can use an increase in memory. I believe you can go up to 6 GB in that machine but 4 GB should be plenty for Snow Leopard. We recommend buying memory from either Other World Computing or Crucial. You will have to remove the 2 x 512 MB modules and replace them with 2 x 2 GB modules. [/QUOTE]
