Apple has promised to speedup our Intel Macs, but there are ways to do that with your current Mac and ComputerWorld has an article that gives the ways to do it. The only hint that I know they leave out is “learn to type.”
Here are the 10 ways to slim down and speed up your Mac that they list:
1. Get rid of the languages you don’t speak
2. Cut out the non-native code
3. Trim down iLife media libraries
4. Clean out logs
5. Delete unused applications and tools
6. Reduce log-in items
7. Do without the 3-D effects and animation
8. Remove the fonts you don’t use
9. Find and remove large files and folders
10. Increase RAM
All good suggestions, but there is a lot more detail in the ComputerWorld article here.
