Pokey MacPro/2009

My Problem

There is nothing wrong with the computer except its speed. It needed much more memory to handle the new Mac OS software, Microsoft Office and Turbo Tax. It would take almost 5 minutes for the computer to just boot up getting ready to be productive.

My Fix

I up graded to 8 Gig of ram, a really easy install. Then I put in the 128 Gig new SSD drive and used Super Duper to clone my original hard disc. Worked like a charm and now I am off to the races for the first time in years.

My Advice

I took the old disk out before cloning the new one. Put the replacement disc in, the plugged in the old hard drive, booted the computer off the old disc and did the Super Duper. Worked like a charm. The video and tutorials made this an undaunting task. I don't usually tear my electronic gear apart like this. Thanks for the confidence to do this.
