[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 907840, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. [url=http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=ibook-g3]iBook G3 Dual USB Upgrades - Upgrade Your Mac![/url] Sadly no CPU upgrade available, and if there was you would be stuck with the old system bus speed which is really what is slowing you down, More memory may make it a little more responsive, but not greatly. A 7,200 RPM drive will also improve things a little, but you are still stuck with the same bus speed alas. Here is a link to the specs and you will see they had a 66MHz system bus speed which is really slow:- [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/stats/ibook.html]Apple iBook G3/300 (Original/Clamshell) Specs (Original/Clamshell - M7707LL/A*) @ EveryMac.com[/url] Note the limitations on maximum memory.
