Tiger, You need to upgrade your processor. You can buy a faster processor that should give you much improved performance. One place to check out is Other World Computing, www.macsales.com to find out what upgrades will work with your machine. You can get upgrades from 800 MHz to 1.2 GHz that should give your machine a big kick in the pants. A second item you might want to consider is a faster graphics card if you are doing any rendering or playing 3D games. If you haven't got at least 512 MB RAM you should probably get at least that much. And finally, if your hard drive(s) are only 5400 rpm, you could get 7200 rpm drives that would somewhat improve your disk performance.
