The ram is not going to do anything to the speed of the G5. Ram is used to keep a program from reading the hard drive for more data during the use of a program. Buffering of video from the net has little to do with that. As stated your internet connection is involved with that. Your best upgrade is getting a new Mac. The G5 is slow old that it can barely keep up anymore. I just upgraded to a new MacBook Pro retina with 512 gig hard drive and it runs programs so fast now a half a bounce to launch any program now. It is so nice to use.

Help? How can I speed up my G5? It is a 2004 Machine with a max memory of 8gb. It has a 2.5 dual processor. Right now I have 7 gigs of memory until I can afford 2 more 1 gig. It just seems really sluggish playing videos or video and music? What can I do to speed it up? It seems like it takes a long time to download or buffer the videos to where t to where it will stop until it receives it? Could it be because of my wireless? We just upgraded to an "N" Router. And to run an E Cable out to the garage would be hard to do without out it sagging as my Router is about 50 plus feet away from the garage? Help!
