Get memory. At least 512MB. More if you can. Memory is relatively cheap and will give a good boost to OS X. Get a faster hard drive. You can get a 40GB Travelstar at 5400rpm that will also give a little boost. There are larger drives, but they're are exponentially more expensive. Get Panther (OS X 10.3). You will get a much snappier OS. Finally, you could get the Sonnet 900MHz G3 upgrade. Unless you're planning to use Altivec-based applications (like iDVD), the G3 upgrade will give you more bangs for the bucks. That's pretty much what I can think of right now... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
