[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 876462, member: 21908"] The Hard Drive is about a place to keep stuff,your data, apps, etc. A faster CPU and memory is the best way to improve the machine. Most likey the HD is full and you need to clean out some stuff. Most likely needs to be defraged too. There is a size limit on what HD you can put in the B&W and the OS needs to be on a partition of like 4 to 6 gigs to run right. Go throw the HD and find the stuff you do not use anymore and drag it to the trash can. Just don't dump any system files. It will run alot better. In the extensions manager turn off printers you do not use. If you lived here in the Atlanta area I would fix it for you....Alas your own your on, so learn more about the machine. If all your doing is Photos and Graphics you maybe able to stick with OS9,its all about what your going to do with it. Its not going to do cutting edge stuff like you see in the Mac magazines and the net. Go read this for more insight on upgrades for the B&W.
