Do you still need to clear PRAM in OSX 9.3.9?

Question

Do you still need to clear PRAM in OSX 9.3.9?

While I'm here I thought I would ask this as I am experiencing time lags and wondered if you still need to clear the PRAM as we used to in OS 9.x. I know this is not the motion thread/forum so issues I have will be addressed there. Just wondering.

alhaddow,

no, this is not necessary on a regular basis. You just use this in case you run into certain problems.

Sometimes I wonder where my brain resides. I'm running 10.3.9. I will assume your response would be the same.

Yup. Actually the procedure was seldom really necessary in OS 8 - 9; most of the problems were caused by RAM conflicts or 3rd party extension conflicts.

FYI. Here's what is stored in PRAM memory when operating in OS X. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86194
