[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1748805, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Well it is showing its age, like all of us. For starters how full is the hard drive? How much memory is installed in the machine? In 2010 reuirements were much less than now, the 'net has got so much quicker and demand for graphics has increased. What operating system is it running? All vital questions. There are no viruses for Macs so I trust you are not running any antivirus software which are real resource hogs. Also no Mackeeper or any other insidious 'cleaning' programs? The computer can be speeded up but it all costs money. More memory, and an Solid State Drive for starters maybe? We all have to decide if we upgrade our machines, or update to newer models. Five years is considered a good run from any computer, Mac or PC. Of course they will run longer than this, but they do start to lag. [/QUOTE]
