lately i have noticed my computer running slow. It is a MacBook Pro OS x 10.4.11
processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
My HD capacity is 148.73 GB
Available 22.07 GB
(used 126.66 GB)
Internet DSL (verizon)
At first i noticed it while browsing the web, trying to see a video on youtube. it would cut the transmission or take time loading pages. I first thought it was my internet connection, but now it even seems slow when I open documents (Word, for example) and even when I am typing (i noticed this 3 days ago, and now I am really concerned)
In april, I did a complete reinstallation of my OS and all applications, hoping it would be working better (at that time my CD/DVD drive would sometimes reject discs when I tried to burn music or a video-that i had made)
i have 12.4 GB in movies
18.48 GB in music
and 33.98 GB in pictures and videos
could this be the cause of such a slow down?
I don't want to go out and spend money i don't have right now, in an external hard drive to free up space, and maybe this was not the cause of the slowdown.
As music educator I keep record of my students' work with pictures and video, so i like to have this at hand, and I am working with this right now...
thanks for any advice
right now i'm starting to feel like i have a PC with dial up!!!
thanks again
