At the suggestion of a few on this list I bought and ran Onyx, strangely since then my systems been running a little clunky. I just launched it again to see if I had initiated something that might cause it, and for some reason OnyX sees my machine as 667MHz, not the 1gig it is... Would that make any difference? Any ideas why Onyx might make this thing run sluggishly? running 10.2.8 1 gig of ram on a 1 gig processor... tia m _______________________________________ Matthew Guemple c. 646.734.6601 matblack at mac.com www.creativehotlist.com/m_guemple
