[QUOTE="vicreoy, post: 11846"] For many reasons, I have yet to be blown away by any substantial "power" that my 12" powerbook should be showing. I got this powerbook as a graduation present. I am into video editing, photoshop, soundtrack work. None of them open fast, preform fast or even run without the beach ball showing up most of the time. I opened up Photoshop today and while trying to search a webpage got a low memory error. ***! When I used the g4 desktops at school they were much faster than my powerbook. Here are my specs: Memory: 384 mb Processor: 867 mb Powerpc G4 Bus speed: 133 mhz They did put in some additional memory when I got it, and I have read that sometimes that messes things up when it is not installed correctlly. Does anyone have any suggestions or similar stories. I really am just upset at how slow this machine is, while being so **** expensive. Peace, Steve [/QUOTE]
