Re: HDD/CPU/Memory

Hi again Rounik, Bj, and mtec,
This is a message from my friend who helped me with my upgrade from 120GB 5400RPM to 320GB 7200RPM:
""Hi all. This is his friend. I upgraded the drive by cloning it via superduper. As far as I'm aware, it does a permissions repair after restoring the drive. I'm fairly sure that the problem is related to the fact that we decided to rename his drive from the standard "Macintosh HD", presumably logic is addressing his samples using the drive name in its path. Curious, but I try copying it again or simply changing the drive name if I can.
This is not the first time I have upgraded an internal HDD. I did the same on my own MBP. I must admit its a hell of a lot easier on the plain old macbook.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the MacBook rift has, that's me Jodie, will not benefit from 4gb of ram as it will only read the first 3. Older macbooks and pros are subject to a 3gb limit on memory for some curious reason.
As for the slowness, I suspect it just hasnt had time to adjust to the new drive and run the various optimizations that it does while you sleep. Either that, or it is also related to the drive name change (like some kind of search loop for files it cant find is draining memory?).
"
Me again guys. That's what my friend said. Whaddya think?
Jodie
