If you're paying for the very cheapest, you likely have 1.5 megabits, which is pretty slow. In any case 'internet speed' is generally governed by your connection, with the exception of video. With a 1.2 Ghz cpu this system shouldn't be too slow on video. The only upgrade that makes sense is to get a better video card, that will speed things up in general a lot, and I'll bet this is what you're seeing. I have a similar model, with a 1GHZ cpu upgrade, and moving from the original AGP to a Radeon 9000 made things a lot faster. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
