I bought my 17" 1.5 GHz PowerBook last summer, and then installed 2 GB of RAM a few months ago. While I am not running anything high-powered right now, I have not noticed any improvement in going from the 512 RAM to the 2 GB RAM. Not only that, but things are beginning to slow down, as if my hard drive was nearly full. (I have 53 GB left of an 80 GB drive.)
I may have asked this question last summer. I am wondering what routine maintenance can/should be done on a PowerBook to keep it in tiptop running condition.
Do you leave it on over night so that the daily, weekly, & monthly cron scripts run?
Do you repair permissions regularly?
If not, download and install the utility OnyX from
