[QUOTE="etes, post: 85089"] first I am disappointed to see people who dont even understand the problem, and just say "get a faster computer" ... ( I have a AMD64 3400+ .. fast enough !! ) For this case, I am talking about [B]general office use[/B], [B]web browsing[/B], instant messaging, and simply the way [B]OS X is acting[/B] itself. I am happy that there are at least people who understand a 400MHz PPC with [B]512MB [/B] and a [B]new 7200rpm [/B] HDD should be enough for these simple tasks. [B]Lonerider[/B]: Thank you for your reply. First of all my PIII is running windows XP, with all the effects (so NOT classic look) and with extra effects too (extra software) plus antiVrus software, which makes things slower in general. Browsing is 100x better on the PIII, and things at least run smooth, or adequate at worst cases (say photoshop). No sluggish choppy stuff. What other things (services) can I disable to get a more responsive OS X ?? What themes ?? doesnt themes require extra software ?? [B]Just a note:[/B] I googled for OS X speed and it came up with loads and loads of "speed improvement" guides and articles. Plus there were a large number of people who werent happy with OS X speed on older system. Remember, thses older systems are being used for general use, not doing photoshop and video encoding !! Thank you all [/QUOTE]
