[Ti] How do I get more speed from my Ti 400?

- Does all the RAM show up in System Profiler?
- How much available Hard Disk space? I read a TIL once that said a 
minimum of 10% of disk should be left open in OSX (in your case 4GB); 
I can't remember why, but OSX uses a very different memory management 
system.
- Rebuilding Permissions has been reported on this list and others to 
resolve performance issues
- Rebooting and hold down CMD & S keys to boot into single user mode. 
When command line prompt appears type: fsck -y  repeat process until 
you get a message that says disk appears to be okay (the process may 
take several minutes each time).

Depending upon what applications you are running, 384mb should be 
sufficient, however, I don't believe you can ever have too much RAM. 
Hope this helps.
