[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1707296, member: 56379"] Ebay. 10.5.8. Get an install disk on eBay. FYI. 10.5.8 is 6 OS versions old. The latest Mac OS is 10.11. There really are no settings that can be changed to improve performance. It is what it is.:) Great. Probably check eBay. Hopefully you know that this is an old Apple computer (from 2005). In most ways it is highly outdated (hopefully you didn't spend too much for it).;) Also. In case you didn't know. This model Powermac G5 has a liquid cooling system. Which can be prone to failure & leakage. Thus watch it carefully:) Welcome to Mac-Forums. Hopefully your experience with this first Apple computer and the Mac OS will be positive (keeping in mind this is an 11 year-old computer). And will lead to you to purchasing something newer in the future.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
