Hi guys i know you have probably been asked this 1000 times but i cant seem to find any straight answers anywhere.
I have the following system:
Sawtooth G4
Dual 500Mhz G4 CPU's
2GB PC133 RAM
Seagate 80GB 7200RPM HDD
Samsung CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
NVidia Geforce 6200 AGP 256MB (Flashed) *Supports Core Image And Quartz*
OSX 10.4.11 *clean install*
I find flash extremely slow to the point where youtube videos cannot be watched at all. The CPU usage hits around 130% - 150% when running any flash content (including banner ads) in safari. It has now got to the point where i have disabled addons in safari so flash does not execute and safari pulls around 10% - 30% CPU for normal browsing.
The system itself runs extremely fluid and fast for normal tasks and i love it to bits. This is my first mac and as i cannot afford a new one i thought this would give me a good introduction to the mac world....i bought it very low spec and upgraded it to the dual 500 from a single, upped the ram form 256 to 2gb, flashed the geforce gpu to replace the stock rage, and also changed the dvd drive and hard disk.....its been a fun project and like i said i'm very happy with it.
Is there anything i could do to make flash acceptable as this is the only thing wrong with it now.
Thanks for any help
James
