Hi All,
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone could answer. I have a 9600 upgraded with a G4/700 576mb of ram with a vodoo 16mb video card, and a sonnet ata 100 card. I also have a 4gb hardrive and a 10gb hard drive. I installed OSX.2.4 (I think) using expostfacto. I downloaded and installed all the upgrades, and everything worked. But I must admit that my computer seems dirt slow. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? When I used OS9.2.2 this computer was really fast. I like OSX, but I really don't want to use it if it is going to be so slow. Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks, Bob
First, the Voodoo card is not going to accelerate any of the screen draws, they will all have to be done by the CPU. Your best option would be to replace it with an ATI Radeon. Second, are you sure you have the G4's caches activated? Your install should have included the current Sonnet OS X Tuneup (its free) to activate the caches. You should have installed OS X using XPF, booted it, installed Sonnet's Tuneup, booted back to OS 9 and re-installed the XPF software. This would leave you with just one Sonnet .kext file to activate your caches.
