I have an iBook, 2 USB, 1.2GHz, with 750MB ram. I notice when I have Mail and Safari running, in OS X 10.3.8 the beach ball seems to become more obvious when ever the computer seems to be thinking or processing. Isn't 750MB RAM enough? Can I do something to not wait upwards of 5 or 10 seconds everytime I want to page down a page on a url? Post privately if you wish. Thanks for the time. Is it time to move up to Tiger? M. Millligan
