I don't know if this has ever been posed: But it was a revelation to me: Maybe it will help someone out:--
Just a FYI. I have a B&W g3 Upgraded with a sonnets g4 400 card and 512 megs of ram. I have never been able to get any decent speed to run photoshop or illustrator or do any really intensive filters or tasks at a acceptable speed while running os x. I have 30 gig drive installed and added another 30 gig hard drive about a month ago for more storage. Both drives were 5400 rpm drives. Last week I added a 60 gig drive, it was a 7200 rpm drive. I used retrospect and copied my old system over to this drive. I have never had speeds with os x like I have now. I guess to make a long story short, if you have a g3 desktop or a b&w g3 thats a little doggish..and you've put a ton of ram in it and X isn't any faster like everyone says, swap out the stock 5400 rpm drive for a 7200 rpm drive. It makes a big difference in the speed of X. Wally- Muskegon, MI -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
