Max out the RAM. You running one 128 and one 256 stick? That is way too little ram for Tiger to want. Your computer can hold 4 x 512 for a total of 2 GB. Fill it UP with at least TWO 512 sticks through http://ramseeker.com and omni it will only cost you $128 and you will realize amazing performance improvement. Other fix is to swap out your DVR for a Pioneer DVR-110 for about $39 online. -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist, Podcaster, Futurecaster Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 barcroft (gizmo) kungax (Skype) kungag5 (iChat-AIM) On Mar 9, 2006, at 4:07 PM, Robert MacLeay wrote: >> This is my config >> >> G4 400 384 ram >> tiger 10,4,5 >> Pionner DVD-RW DVR-106D >> Revision x612
