Am sooooOooOooOoOoOOoooooooOOooOooooooooo happy right now
I noticed my computer was running really really really slow, almost unusable. I tried rih-installing the OS and everything and nothing seemed to speed it up. It was still painfully slow even with a clean OS.
About 5 months ago my battery started deteriorating, and about a month ago it finally kicked the bucket completely and was all "REPLACE NOW!", so I went to the good sis eBay and ordered a new genuine Apple one from China because ain't nobody paying $6000 for a new one from Apple.
Anyway it showed up yesterday and I just installed it and my computer is PHLYING again. It feels like brand new

I didn't realize there was any correlation between battery and computer speed but I just googled and it seems that when the Macbook battery gets to the "replace now" stage, it automatically cuts processor speed in HALF, so when I installed a new battery, it jumped it back up to full speed.
o happy day

Now I can watch HD **** again without it stuttering
