Hey guys, going need some guidance and advice as to what to do concerning with my Macbook (mid 09 model, i think?)
Basicly, I had a harddrive problem about a year ago and I forced to replace it. Since then I haven't really learnt from my mistake and continued to download rubbish and have slowed my macbook down considerably to the point where I cant even play a browser game without having serious lag issues (Not connection related). It's only really become apparent since my imac (g5 possibly) got wiped and got a new harddrive and runs wonderfully but I dont always have access to use it.
So my options are is try and delete as much stuff as I can in hope my laptop speeds up or start a fresh, but I'm not sure how to do either. I obviously know how to send files to the recycle bin and then 'secure empty trash' but I'm not sure whether it has a actual effect on my laptops performance. I've also been using vuze alot, and i've got appzapper installed but again i'm not aware of how foroughly they 'delete' the files. Are there any programs about that could help improve my laptops performance from the side of things or is it either to start from fresh?
And if so, how would I go about this?
Any feedback is appreciated,
Jay
