[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 793885, member: 56231"] I run three Macs, two with Panther and one with Tiger. Stick with Tiger if you can, but the essence of your problem is called 400 MHz. I have a G3 b/w @ 350 MHz and video playback is awful. I've not put this G3 iMac 600 with Panther through its paces with video yet. Remember though that your G4 was issued with Panther, so the two were matched from the start. A possibility for you is to spend US$1xx (the price keeps coming down) on a processor upgrade [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Models.cfm?TI=1015]MyOWC at OtherWorldComputing.com[/url]. From what you've posted, yours appears to be a AGP Sawtooth? How long is it since you did any OS maintenance on your G4? OnyX (recommended) or MainMenu will clean up a lot of cache files, repair permissions, run maintenance scripts etc. You may notice a significant improvement thereafter. [/QUOTE]
