He is working with Photoshop CS2 on a dual 2.0gHz G5, 2gb RAM, and I'm not sure about the harddrive. He says that the harddrive is probably not too full as all work is saved on a shared drive in a server... not on the actual desktop that he is working on. He thinks it might have something to do with the fonts that he is using... but I don't know. Anyone have any ideas of what would be causing this? Posted by: macdude425 Make sure he is running the newest version of OS X (10.4.8) and that there are no problems with his RAM. Posted by: The General Make sure he's not using FileVault or secure virtual memory. Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Security and make sure "use secure virtual memory" is unchecked. That made my Macbook Pro SOOOOOOOO SLOW. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
