 |

As the title states.
I updated to Mac OSX 10.8.3, I'm not sure what's the latest version. But it's been running extremely slow.
My MacBook Pro is the 15" i7 2.0 GhZ w/ 4GB RAM.
It loads up slow, opens explorers (google chrome) slow. If I put it to sleep and open it and try using the same open explorer, it's slow and I have to restart it. I'm not experienced with Macs so I don't know what to do.
Is there a certain operating system Mac's work on? Like I know Windows XP (when windows Vista was out) was the ideal OS for PC's. Is there something like that for Macs? I don't have any random programs installed, except google chrome and that's about it. I have Windows 7 installed on a partition (100GB out of 700GB) Windows 7 works flawlessly. It's super fast but I want to use OSX because it's nicer with the iMessage and PhotoBooth. Thanks again guys.

If you have Lion, it's easy.
