For surfing, I'd suggest more ram. Get two or more 128MB sticks and then stick your browser cache in memory (either directly or via a ram disk). For games, if they do a lot of rendering you're probably bottlenecked by the graphics card more than the CPU. Are you using the on-board video or a PCI video card? > Also, I keep reading about adjusting >the cache ratio to boost processor speed. How do I do that, and will it >help much? The software control panel that came with your G3 card should allow you to do that. Otherwise, you can download a free one from powerlogix (www.powerlogix.com). But no, I wouldn't expect a higher cache ratio to be very noticeable for most applications. -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
