MacBook - need tips to speed it up.

Definitely. Is there a reason why you haven't been upgrading? It's very important since the upgrade fixes bugs, etc.

If you have a slow processor and not enough memory, updating the OS won't change that.

Make an appointment for the Genius Bar at the apple store if you are near one they should be able to give you trips

Hey Glb, haven't talked to you in a while. If you don't remember me, you helped me practically rebuild my PC a few years ago, and I thank you. Now, regarding my MacBook, is there a test or something that can tell me my processor speed and/or if I don't have enough memory? I installed new RAM a while ago, but I didn't notice a difference after that.

Thanks again!

upgrading is recommended..

Right click on the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner, select about this Mac and post back with your computer's specs.

do you clear your history?? that will help speed up connecting to websites.....
