Max out the RAM to 1.5 GB, that should only cost $20 or so. You can also run a freeware utility called Monolingual which will strip out the Intel and G5 architectures from your OS, along with the languages you don't need. It will save around a gig of disk space and let Tiger run much more efficiently.
Along with Monolingual, I always use 'Delocalizer' which strips out the country specific stuff to save a bit more room. Note that you often need to do these again after you install new software, as they (by default) install all languages/country specific files again. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
