Dear G-List:
I have a Power Mac G4 466 which has been extensively upgraded. It
now contains a Sonnet 1.25 GHz Dual Processor, a
Pioneer DVD Superdrive, a Radeon 9000 64MB graphics card, six ATA
drives (varying in size from 120 GB to 160 GB), a
Sonnet Tempo ATA-133 Controller card, OS 10.4.2, and 896MB RAM. One
of these drives is dedicated strictly to the OS
and my programs. Other files are stored on the other drives in this
configuration. Overall the machine is solid, but I
have noticed that it is on the sluggish side, especially when
accessing files or launching programs. I am trying to figure
out options for increasing this old Mac's overall performance as
much as possible. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
So you find your dual G4 1.25 GHz machine to be sluggish?
Geez. I thought my 1Ghz G4 tower was (almost) wickedly fast.
Maybe it's time to eBay your pokey machine and move up to a G5?
Jim
