G4 acting up

[Snow White]

I have had weird issues in OS9.  OS9 corrupts a lot over time.  Take 
about 2 years and the OS stops functioning as it should. Slows down, 
loses a few prefs etc..  Bad RAM is a very common problem.  Run a RAM 
checker for 8 - 24 hours.

I highly recommend that, if possible you move into OSX 10.2 or later.  
If you have a second HD in there you can try it out without disturbing 
you current OS9 set-up.
