This is what my profiler says and I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 so how
do I plan my moves, like the iMac as well, this has always seemed
confusing with that 'dual core' idea. Does that dual stuff double
my speed maybe, and/or mean my ram is really double. I was just
happy with my system as is, then this 'word' went around that now
even my 10 was going to be history. Took a while to transition to
the 10 from the 9 etc. I do mostly research for simulations (math
or logic models) and writing reports, and now so many articles are
pointing to youtube (which before was not appealing), but now those
now sometimes are universally user friendly... cancel anything with
much Flash. Hope this is adequate to figure out the dual, upgrade
scheme for this machine.

That machine is best to stay with Tiger it's way too slow to run
Leopard or play Youtube and to upgrade it would be a waste of money
compared to the cost of a used Intel iMac even a fast PPC Mac has a
hard time playing Youtube smoothly. My fastest PPC is a G5 Dual 2.7
and youtube is just barley watchable IMHO. If you use OS9 then you
have to stay with a PPC with Tiger to run it in Classic mode If you
boot OS9 then the fastest machine is a G4 MDD dual 1.25 F/W 400 model.
