Should it be fault of the 6MB VRAM onboard video, too? __- How much RAM free space do you have left after OS X loads? Not much is it ? Also you could try putting a faster cpu in it unless it is soldered in. A PCI video card may help. But maybe not. Because you fully download before playing I assume your connection is perhaps dial-up. Will the machine accept a full Gig of RAM? But 233 MHz may be just too overworked. Unless the files are quite small. Will the file fit in RAM? I doubt it. Is virtual memory turned on ? Probably. Every time VM has to search for the next frames to buffer you get a hesitation. You might try OS 9 and find it works somewhat better. But probably not as much as you hope. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

No, it isn't -- it's a slow, 256kbps cable-modem connection... Will the machine accept a full Gig of RAM? Close to this -- 768MB of RAM. But 233 MHz may be just too overworked. Unless the files are quite small. In fact, the velocity of my G3's processor is 266MHz. -- MaGioZal. http://twitter.com/magiozal/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
