Questions About System Performance
Hello all:
My first post - so be gentle.
I have the chance of inheriting my wife's iMac (800 Mhz Power PC G4). It has a 75 Gig drive with 768 megs of DRAM - running OS-X version 10.4.10.
I am considering using this machine as a multi-media device.
Uses would be:
My initial testing finds the machine to be somewhat sluggish as compared to my newer laptop (it's a PC -sorry).
I'd appreciate comments on the configuration and suggestions on what to do to speed things up a bit. I find that even downloaded videos are clipping at times. Also, apart from usability, is there any reason to upgrade to Leopard?
Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated.

Uses would be:
- iTunes
- Torrent downloads
- And watching videos
