[G4] [Help] PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 800MHz on PowerMac G4 AGPGraphics, it works?

[jonseward at mindspring.com]

How much RAM is installed?    Sounds exactly like too little RAM to support
all the open apps.  I always try to bring 
my Macs up close to their maximum RAM capacity.

You can also use Activity Monitor to see how much CPU capacity is being by
various applications in real time.  Some 
applications become progressively bigger hogs the longer they are left open
or the machine has been running.  
Quitting and/or rebooting can tamp that down.  So can emptying caches and
libraries - though be careful not to 
trash data you need.


HTH..

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that iTunes and Thunderbird should be
working OK on a 500mHz machine. 
YouTube could be slow, but the speed could also depend on the speed of your
internet connection.

I'm not being much help.
