I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.2 with 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5
What are some things that I can do to speed up the overall performance and speed of my PC?
Are there any free programs that I can download that will do this for me?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Max out the RAM. Use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.

Increase your RAM to 8GB is the single most effective thing you can do.
On top of that, try to have around 30% or so free HD space.
Some general tips are given in my post here:

No. Don't waste your time on these. They generally do more harm than good.
I have a mid 2009 MBP that was slow in Lion. I upgraded from 4 to 8 gb RAM and that helped. It has a 5400 rpm hard drive and I am considering replacing it with a 7200 rpm drive for another speed boost.
THe MBP booted faster after I turned off resume.
