[QUOTE="rfomlover, post: 1826297, member: 140583"] Hello everyone. I recently picked up 2 PowerBook G4s. One is a 12" in mint condition and the other is a 15" in pretty good conditon. I just added 1GB of ram to each one, as they were both at 512, so they both have 1.25-1.5gb now. I thought this would greatly improve the performance of TenFourFox but it is still incredibly laggy. Browing this site right now is a nightmare and it is just basic text, no videos loading or anything. I have a couple of PowerMac G5s that run flawlessly with TenFourFox and has kind of hoping for a similar experience. I am running Tiger on the 15" i could put leopard but heard it really bogs these down. The 12" I just installed Leopard on but have yet to try out Ten Four Fox. I have read a little bit about WebKit being pretty quick, but it looks like it requires leopard which is fine I guess. Anyone have any experience with this? The 15" has a 1.5GHz G4 with 1.5GB of Ram, and the 12" has a 1.33 GHz G4 with 1.25GB of ram. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
