I don't know if the screen resolution is going to slow down your
browsing. The question is, can your video card handle the resolution of
the screen with the amount of video ram the card has? How much video
ram does the card have and what resolutions are supported?

Sorry to just post now,I've been out of time.
Let's say I "tried for free" the Intech's SOlution to install osx 10.4
in the HD and try it,and man,that is a freakin difference of speed!
If I had a 7200rpm drive that would be even more amazing...
When I go back home,I'll do the firmware hack or use the overdrive
driver and re-install the OS.
Another question,I am thinking of buying a NEC EA231WMI DIsplay (full
HD - 1920x1...@60hz),do you think,that the sawtooth with a 9700pro
would be sluggish on the web browsing and so at that resolution?

I am trying to make this machine really "lowend" on money,because:
1)I'll only use it on weekends
2)I am student and don't have much money.
Here is the message. I could not find Overdrive so I did the firmware hack.

Use an enabler for LBA48 support or do the firmware patch.
One method is to use Intech's solution, which costs $. With Intech if
you're using OS 9 you must format the HD with Speedtools 3.5 for OS9.
In OS X you need the Intech Hi-Cap extension, and then for safety
you'd want to add a partition break at the exact 128GB mark (131,072MB
exactly).
Another solution is the freeware Overdrive

A third is to manually tweak the firmware

Yes, Overdrive mentioned with link above.
