[QUOTE="maxb1992, post: 610142, member: 50342"] Hello everyone.. I am very new to the whole macintosh scene, I've been with windows all my life but now I think its time to try something new. I have got a 500MHz Power Mac G4(AGP Graphics) running Mac OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger) with 1.25GB SDRAM. First impressions, very simple and user friendly. However, so much slower than a windows system. Now I know this machine is not the latest or by any means the fastest, but nor is it old, and slow. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to improve the performance of this machine. I know with windows there are various registry tweaks which can be used, are there any for the "Mac"? I have already done a clean install of the OS completely formatting both of the hard drives in the machine. The machine does have an Airport card in and internet is very fast wirelessly, impressed. i look forward to hearing back from you. Any tips and tweaks please let me know, you are dealing with a complete novice to the mac scene. So you will have to bear with me as Im not up to speed. Thanks.. Max. [/QUOTE]
