Thanks to several on this list that recommended a processor upgrade. I purchase the Other World Computing (OWC) Mercury Extreme 1 GHz processor. The shipment and sales support was great and the installation was a snap. The old G4 is much more responsive now and I see less spinning discs. The big change was noted in iPhoto and that change alone was worth the cost of the upgrade. Yes, I would like to have a new G5 but the old G4 is still doing a great job for everything I need. Thanks guys for the tip to breath new life in G4. Dick G4 AGP 1GHz
