You can scroll with one finger photos or anything you want, in other words anything you do becomes easier. Also every Mac is highly secured so you don’t have to be worried about issues caused by viruses. By using Mac OS X Snow Leopard you don’t need to buy software to speed it up or keep it safe. This is designed to keep your Mac “in the best shape”.
For example, the speed of Mac OS X is determined by multiple factors: firmware, RAM, hard disk space, graphics card or even an optical mouse (no ball) and the list can go on. Some say that one RAM, a faster hard drive or an upgraded CPU, can definitely improve your Mac’s performance.
We know that upgrading the processor, although technically possible can be quite expensive and complicated. A good way to speed up an iMac is to turn off some features like: Bluetooth, speech recognition or Internet Sharing when you don’t use them.
In this way you can save processor resources and some RAM. Another great way in which you can maximize iMac’s performance is to cool it when it becomes very hot. With a cooler processor, all Macs will run more efficiently. Nowadays, new MacBooks are becoming very hot though many say the cooling issues have been fixed. To keep you Mac running cooler you can use the Fan Control utility which allows you to change threshold for when its fan turns off or on. A little disadvantage is that it shortens its battery life. In order to improve window redrawing performance on Mac OS X you can download for free, Shadowkiller available on Internet.
Also since the Intel appeared, there have been some applications that work more slowly under a PowerPc Mac OS X. If the software has to run in Rosetta, it is true. A new software called TrimTheFat can remove the unnecessary code which makes applications work with Intel and PowerPc. You can also use faster secondary internal drivers. These are the best choice when you run huge applications like working with video, for example. Portable Macs come with 5,400 rpm hard drives or with 7,200 rpm drivers. If a boot drive is very full, even if your Mac is a high speed machine, will definitely slow down. That’s why OS X needs you to clear around 20% of the space on its boot drive. In this way, it could write temporary files to the space or virtual memory.
