Hi Michael! Thanks for the advice. I did write to Motorola and inquire about the compatibility issues and they advised that they ahd updated these files to make the g-3 and g-4 power pc chips optimize the mathlib and strings more efficiently than they did. I don't know that much about these things, but they said they are very easy to install and just as easy to uninstall if I did have any problem with them. I run Photoshop Deluxe 6 and Photoshop Elements that came with my scanner. I prefer Photoshop elements for most of the photo work I do. but I've brought both up, downloaded photos into both and was able to work witout any stalls or freezes in either one. That was a first! they would freeze even though I allotted more memory to them. When you say to change my applications icon, is that the memory link on the apple menu? I have the virtual memory turned on and whenever I've installed new chips, it automatically recognizes it and it shows up in the window. It says pesently I have 896mb of actual mem and 897 mb of virtual mem. I don't really know what the virtual memory is for, but everything seems to be working fine now so I hate to tinker with it. Should I turn it off and just use the ram memory? Will that speed things up? I hate to be so ignorant of these things, but since I didn't know very much about this machine, I thought I'd not do too many changes to the systems or apps until I really got to know it a little better. I do thank you for your advice and I did want you to know that so far these drivers from Motorola haven't seemed to cause any problems in Photoshop 6 or Elements. I did notice a huge difference in the way games load and the speed they play at and with my email. some of the html I ws getting took a while to open and now it opens within a blink. My programs seem to load up much more quickly as well. I hope I don't start having conflicts, although I did get conflict catcher in case I get anything. Have a wonderful day! ron
