[P1] Problems? with iBook 700mhz and OS10.2.3

[Brian Fish]

Paul,
 I would definately suggest getting more RAM.  I upgraded my 600Mhz iBook to
640MB immediately after getting the iBook.  It shipped with Jaguar.  OS X,
especially Jaguar, needs way more than 128MB to function smoothly.  As far
as the battery,  I would call Apple and tell them you want a new battery.  I
can't imagine that you've had your 700Mhz that long.  Just a few thoughts.

>>1. I know that I have minimal ram and performance suffers as a result,
>>BUT... I have noticed that the start up time is longer before the dock

>>longer while the windows open/are generated.  I just thought that with
>>Quartz Extreme it would at least perform as fast as 10.1.5, not
>>slower/more jittery.
>>2.  I noted that when waking from sleep the computer misreads the
>>battery time.  For instance, say I know that I have over an hour of
>>battery life left. I put the computer to sleep for moments. When I wake
>>the computer (lifting the lid)  The computer opens a window that says
>>"reserve battery..plug in now...yada, yada".  The remaining battery
>>time in the toolbar reads 3 minutes, than slowly increases to, say, 20
>>minutes, then the computer goes to sleep mode (looks like a total
>>battery drain).  Either way, dead battery or not, why is it a misread
>>problem since I installed 10.2.3? (Previous version worked flawlessly).
