I am looking at working on some photos, the files would be between 22 and 30 megs each. Currently it is painfully slow and takes 20 seconds or so just to open a file. I do not mind doing a processor upgrade but would that give me a reasonable speed increase?<br>

Is the machine running too slow for ya?<br>
What kind of work do you do on it?<br>
<br>
Those macs are not very fast. I'd say get a faster processor card.<br>
<br>
That or just maybe sell that one on Ebay and get a newer faster one.<br>
<br>
I found this website that sells used macs. I've never used them<br>
before so I'm not sure how reputable they are.<br>
