[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1622323, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Jim[/B] - welcome to the forum - as usual, [B]Lisa[/B] has provided a lot of excellent and specific advice; and I'm not one of the hardware gurus here, but that computer is at least 8 years old (this is like having a 20 y/o dog!) - and I'm not sure what the cost would be but (if in the budget?), you probably should consider a new computer - just my 2 cents - :) Also, I noticed in your MBPro specs that you are running Yosemite w/ 2 GB of RAM - although the minimal suggested by Apple (IIRC), 4 GB or more will likely provide a much better experience on that machine - how is the laptop running w/ the newest OS? Check [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html"]Every Mac[/URL] for your model and how much RAM can be added (a cheap but worthwhile consideration - [URL="http://www.macsales.com"]OWC[/URL] is a popular recommendation for memory here).
