[QUOTE="Avenger2SER, post: 793776, member: 14046"] You won't get that much of a speed bump from 10.3. I would suggest sticking with Tiger. You Tube is somewhat demanding on older macs, but I've been able to get videos playing with minimal frame drops from a 600mhz G3 imac running tiger. Is your external attached via USB? If your using the built in USB ports, that would cause a slow down running apps since its only USB 1.1 I would go for a fresh install of Tiger first, also check your activity monitor for any processes that might be hogging memory or cpu resources. Download a copy of xbench and compare results to similar systems to see where your bottleneck is, this always helps me determine how to boost performance on my G4 and G5s. This isn't the newest machine, at best its a 2001 Gigabit ethernet model. Can't expect miracles. [/QUOTE]
