In terms of which PM I have . . . thanks to Israel setting up some PPC friendly deb files and some pointed instructions on how to install them . . . I'm now running the latest spec JWM/ToriOS DE in said PM 3,1 w/the 2GB RAM . . . possibly I'm "overclocking" the RAM and so it doesn't yet realize it can't use 2 GB??? : - 0 I can't seem to find the "System" page that shows which model computer I have and how much RAM is installed in this ToriOS DE. But, it has speeded up the plow in terms of basic function in the Gmail window & the Yahoo Mail window . . . haven't tried FB yet, but the 2 GB does, or has, seemed to "work" adequately with this computer on these heavy JS pages. I did previously check the computer ID over in the OSX side and that is where I did see "3,1" . . . it's a "Sawtooth AGP" circa '00 ???? if that helps you. F
