anyone wanna help me out, i only got 1GB memory and my HD only has like 10 GB left, i got a 13" all white macbook from like late '07.

You only have 1GB RAM? I would say go to newegg get RAM, and find a internal hard drive there also.

I installed Snow Leopard last week and it is more like an upgrade.

Right-click on desktop. Click on 'Show View Options'. Adjust where it says 'Icon Size'.
