benzidirk Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, Okay, I have a MacBook White 13'' Late 2009 Model. I have installed Mavericks 10.9. The MacBook has 4GB of RAM and SSD installed. Whenever I run Football Manager 14 and Chrome with 3 tabs open the MacBook runs really slow. In Chrome I can't even scroll down a page. But when switch to Windows the MacBook runs perfect. Photoshop open, Football Manager 14 open, Chrome open and everything is smooth. Why is this happening? Should I switch back to an older version of OS X?

JahStories Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 snow leopard should fly... btw probably games slow down the machine cause they could be running with cider or wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzidirk Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Latest update for Mavericks already installed. I think it's Football Manager that's causing all the problems. I see on the Activity Monitor it's CPU load is 150%! On windows runs smoothly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I noticed that mavericks is sluggish on Core 2 Duo machines!! Works fine on core i-series though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 In Core 2 Duo, install Snow Leopard. It's a good system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadkopp Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 it may be insufficent memory. have a look at activity monitor. if your mac needs to use swap, it will slow down really bad. mavericks 10.9.3 runs well on my hackintosh with t7100 core2duo and 4gb but i don't play games with it mavericks uses 3,6 gb in idle for me (airserver + apache running) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
