pretty much every game. ibook works fine otherwise but flash games are slow as christmas

 

[Mr Bobbins]

Have you got the processor performance set to high in system preferences Energy savers options tab ? May help a little.

If they are new games then laptops are going to struggle a bit as they are not really made for playing hi rez games. Try turning some of the options off or down in the game.

thathanks for the reply but i think you might be missing the oint of my post . i probably diddnt phrase it too well. i meant is it a common problem like for macs in general mot just my i book. not new games just little flash games

Have you updated to the latest version of Flash Player?

 

[Mr Bobbins]

Sorry for the misunderstanding Gar, My ibook runs flash games fine and it's only a G3 800mhz. Which program are you running them in ?

I have also tried play flash games on my iBook using Firefox, and I had a horrible time trying to play the games. Flash games played the best in Safari or Camino. But if you are having problems with Safari, you'll want to use Camino. I have had much success with Camino with flash content.

Flash in general is a bit laggy on my 800 mhz g3 ibook. Do you have any suggestions to boost performance overall on the ibook?

Not sure, have you tried using Camino yet? I have only 256mb on my iBook, so flash works very nice and smooth with Camino. I still have no luck with flash content on Firefox.
