Andy.....I probably cant help much, but I was in the same situation....Im an artist and I use photoshop and other and macromedia software....the newer versions wouldnt run unless I upgraded my ram. I am happy that I did and I can now use Photoshop CS2. It uses more processing power than most powerpoint files. I dont know how expensive it is going to be for you, but if it isnt about the money....it will make a big difference. live in korea, so it cost me about 100 bucks plus labor to upgrade my Powerbook which is the same as yours. Even if it was a bit more expensive(which im sure it might be in america)...it would be totally worth it. One problem is that I still cant use the latest OS....even with the upgrade. good luck, Mykian On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 5:29 PM, Andrew Knight <andrew.knighgoot at ncl.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi > I currently have an old Powerbook G4 VGA 15' with a 667 MHz PowerPC G4 > processor with 512MB SDRAM running OSX 10.4.1. > > It is getting frustratingly slow with large powerpoint and word documents. > I have tried looking for extra RAM (I think it can handle a max. of 1Gb) but > the prices seem really expensive.
