I've recently bought Logic Pro 7 (woo hoo!) and I now need to upgrade my imac, which is currently running OS 10.2.8, to Panther or Tiger, and I also need to upgrade my RAM from 256 to 512. But it looks like this gonna cost about £200 from the Apple shop. So my question is: is there a cheaper way? Can I get these things second-hand? Are ther disadvantages?
Thanks a lot. Chris |

hi!
general comment: If you are having overheating problems on a MacBook, you could try running this task bar app, available at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049/smcfancontrol smcfanControl allows you to manually set the lower limit on fan speed on an Intel MacBook, and keeps things reasonably cool - and its free. A cooling pad might also a good idea, if you can find one that sets your macBook at a convenient height and angle, and is also quiet enough for your music production environment. I use a Belkin model with integrated USB hub. I like it, but most reviewers hate it, as it goes.

Apologies - it does not appear in the task bar (I was thinking of something else) but should be included as a startup item in your System Preferences Login list. |
