Simba, quick help needed

My Macbook Pro has been acting up on a semi regular basis for the last week. Mainly, bringing the spinning wheel up when loading pages with heavy pictures, or larger threads. All updates completed, been rock solid so far, shutdown once a week. What can I do?

Do everything in the fix it thread.

If you're having video issues, it might be due to the nVidia recall-- what model MBP is it?

Try trashing you safari cache.

user > library > caches > safari (might be named com.apple.Safari)

I do this periodically when Safari runs slow from the start and it helps a good bit.

Not the latest, but model before - 2.4ghz with multi-touch pad.

Check your system profiler and see what graphics chip you have. If it's a nVidia GeForce 8600GT, take it in to an Apple store and have them test it.

Safari has an "empty cache" function, there's no reason to muck with the caches directly.
