The 1 GB of RAM will kill your speed. That’s barely enough to boot with (IMHO). I would think really hard about whether to spend money to upgrade an old system or use the money (plus the money you get for selling your old Macbook Pro) to purchase a new one.

A smart folder continually updates as files that match the selections criteria are created and destroyed. A saved search is static and has to be run every time to get the answer. Generally you want to use smart folders sparingly because they can take up a lot of resources.

LLBean should be reputable, but it shouldn’t put up a FB certificate either. Although you can’t get a virus on a Mac, there is malware–typically trojans–that can fool you into installing something you’d probably rather not.

If you weren’t going to Facebook, then the site that you were at is fudging something.

If you install non-Apple RAM, sometimes they ask you to remove it before they troubleshoot.
