[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 811428, member: 24160"] After all that grab Onyx from [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html"]here[/URL]. Make sure you install it by dragging it to the Applications folder. Once you open it, go to the Automations tab. (Yours may be a little different, I'm on Leopard, but should be similar.) Put a check next to everything in the Maintenance section and the Cleaning section then press Execute. It's going to take a while. All of this should help, but upping the RAM should make a decent difference also. That machine uses 168 pin PC133 SDRAM. You've got three slots that will take upto 512MB each for a total of 1.5 GB. [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SD512328/"]Here[/URL] you can the whole 1.5GB for under $100. If they've no intention of getting a new machine any time soon, the $100 will be money well spent. [/QUOTE]
