I do have 64bit C2D processor. Not sure how will the machine will handle the upgrade. I did just buy a new one, a macbookpro8,2 with i7 quad core processor. It really handles it all much better, but still my other one was doing good. @uxp The MacBookPro that I have is a macbookpro3,1. I do have 64bit C2D processor.

Mine is a very first generation 2006 Intel (macbookpro1,1 with the 32bit CoreDuo, not C2D), and I'm a bit reluctant to see if Lion will work. If I upgrade to 10.7, that will end up being the third major version upgrade on this old guy. The fact that it runs so well at this age is still surprising to me. All in all, I'm in the same boat as you. I've run various flavors of Linux and BSD for years, but find myself hopping back into OS X for extended periods of time because of various applications that feel so much more fluid on OS X. @undertakingyou what version MacBookPro do you use?

Try a free program called iTerm. Some think it's better than the default Terminal. About for the SMB performance on the Mac. I did google it and found thousands of tips on how to make it perform better. Hope that helps. -JC Also besides the default application on the Mac. Try a free program called iTerm.

I'm told that Roku is in the process of developing a UPnP/DLNA channel. Since UPnP wasn't an option as far as I could tell, I went looking and found a great way to access my local content, the subsonictv channel. It's still in beta, but works very well and uses the same subsonic server software that I already use to access my media from my phone & desktop at work.

You should use a program called Xslimmer. I think it's in the App store and also at www.xslimmer.com It's shareware by the way. -JC If you really want extra performance out of your applications.
