Yeah, reinstall the OS before you start playing with it. People have mentioned that the system from a clean install runs much more smoothly. Run the battery all the way down, till it goes to its final sleep and then charge back to 100% to get your battery calibrated (this should be done at least once a month to keep your battery meter accurate). Also download Onyx and make sure to run your cron scripts at least once a week, and don't forget to verify and repair permissions everytime you download software. Also if your interested in upping your ram, theres a thread in this forum where outpost.com is selling a one gig RAM stick for 149 bucks (very good deal). Have fun with your machine!

Why would you reinstall the OS if the computer is new?
Would you wipe the drive and pop in the the Install CD 1 and reinstall the OS and the other programs too?

yeah... pop the osx disks in and do a clean install. you can get rid of apps that you won't use freeing up hd space.

Just trust us on this one. It seems pretty useless I know, but give it a whirl and you'll see a slight difference.
