Performance issues with macbook pro 15'' early 2011
Hi guys, hope you can help. I've recently upgraded and reintalled everything fresh on my mac, even replaced the motherboard a few years ago mind you but upgraded to 10 gigs of ram yesterday. And I'm finding my mac act still very sluggish.
Here is a report from EtreCheck, I hope it makes sense to a pro out there. I'm wondering if my logic board isn't just too old now, the computer runs ok, but with 10 gigs of ram an SSD drive it should be running more than that. All check seems to be pointing towards an issue with my CPU being overly used.
