Ive had my MP for 3 weeks initially I loved it soooooo much

now is really slowed down

many threads point to RAM look those over

1gb is nbot enough even running onluy INtel progs.

after my two moerr come Ill see

but some think that Migration assistant is a contributing factor to slow performance.

is it? how can it be if you are not migrating a lot of PCC progs?
doe it put those files in the most awkward of places?
Hard to find them?

I have a 16MB buffred HD 500GB I moved over to as that was supposed to help
Ill do what reasonable after my 2 GB ram gets here to get really really good performance.

Ill fork over for 2 GB more if need be

but MA? what the real story with that?

cheers

IMO, if MA was an issue you would have seen an initial slow down.

Use Onyx or another utility to clean caches, perform routine maintenance, delete Safari icon files etc.

I had issues on my Mac Pro when using MA to move from a G5. I did lots of house cleaning, including rebuilding the Spotlight index, rebuilding the Locate database, repairing symbolic links etc, Zapping the PRAM (which AppleCare recommended) etc.
Something I did "fixed" the performance issues and all I used was Onyx and Tiger Cache Cleaner.

I also agree that 1GB is a minimum for RAM.

Sorry for the somewhat vague "fix" suggestion, but I doubt MA is the culprit if the machine ran well initially.

Are only certain applications slow ?
