Hi all,
I have an early 2008 2.4/2.2 MBP. ("About This Mac" screenshot attached with the specs.) While it still runs well -- I had the HDD replaced and the maximum RAM added last year -- it's beginning to overheat more frequently, slow down when opening large documents, and just generally show its age.
Does anyone have suggestions as to how to arrest the decline? I'm not a power user by any means, so I don't think there's much to gain from reducing usage (about the most I tax it is by having a Word doc, Excel spreadsheet, and 3-4 Safari tabs open simultaneously). I use XSlimmer and Onyx fairly regularly, but any benefits are (predictably) only marginal.
Thanks much for help.
