I have an ageing imac - the usb2.0 version G4 1.25GHz with 1GB memory.
I want to know would i make significant gains in performance if i upgraded it to 2gb memory? (ignore the fact that i can or cannot upgrade to 2gb - i know i can)
at the moment, the hdd is almost completely full with a few gb to spare, and my coimputer regularly beachballs with many apps running, and if azureus or a java based app is running, the cpu is almost maxed out continuously.
would a new bigger hard drive also solve my problems when combined with double the memory. i don't use many professional apps like creative suite or video editing, so processor power is not that relevant - its just an internet/email/itunes/photos pc and nothing much else
your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. i dont want to splash out on a new mac just yet..i can't afford it.
