[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1012879, member: 24160"] First thing you need to do is get some RAM. There's no way you'll run OS X, parallels and Win 7 even remotely acceptable with 1GB of RAM. The machine itself should be quite capable, I do it on my MBP with the 2.33 Ghz. Have you repaired the disk booted from your original Tiger disc that came with the machine? It's possible you may have a failing drive, but I'd at least try that. Worst case from the info you've supplied so far is a new drive and more RAM - under under $200, maybe $150. If all else is working, that machine should last at least a couple more years. [/QUOTE]
