[QUOTE="jmg343, post: 1165598, member: 185397"] Hello. I got a PowerMac 6.1 handed down to me from my mother. I lost my MacBook Pro in a divorce. Anyhow, when I got the computer from my mother it had thousands and thousands of pictures and music stored on it. I proceeded to delete all of the pictures and all of the music and also ran the "Cleanmymac" program and cleaned the computer. The computer is still quite slow when on the internet. Pages do not load as quickly as I feel they should and videos from youtube and various other sites will not play "smoothly". Instead they are herky jerky and play frame by frame if you will. FWIW, this computer has a power PC G4 (3.3) with a 1GHZ speed, and 768 MB of memory. I dont know too much about what that means because I am not that computer savy. Can anyone help me figure out why this computer is running as slowly as it is? Also, I do not think it has anything to do with my internet connection as it has always worked fine when using my ex-wifes laptop. Same connection, same modem, same everything other than the computer. Thanks in advance, Jake [/QUOTE]
