No worries, I have 1TB in my Wind tunnel with plenty of

The conversion may however need all the resources it's asking for, so
make sure to check the quality of the material at least one time.
I'd give it all anyway as I want the CDs ripped as fast as possible.

...Eats a lot of cpu power, not bandwidth, unless you mean the audio
stream is saturating the system bus. I'd find that unlikely in this case.

Thanks everyone for info and I have to admit that it is/was the CD ripping.
This might sound like a really daft thing not to think of but as I have been
encoding MASSES of CD audio books at around 10-15 CDs each for what
seems like forever, I have become so used to, and may I say good at,
sticking

Is it always seeming to be a bit sluggish in response no matter what you're
doing?
Sounds a little stoopid, but I'm not sure...
Reason, because I am encoding a serious amount of audio books to AAC,
each book having 10-15 CDs and we're not just talking one or
Is it always seeming to be a bit sluggish in response no matter what
you're doing? Or just during importing CDs to iTunes? I recommend
running activity monitor with the cpu bar up so you can see. My guess
would be that if its just running slow while importing that would be
the culprit since
Larry,
Converting CD's to AAC eats a lot of bandwidth. How does it feel
perform when you are not doing conversions?

I'd do it, but first try and make a new user and see if that user logged
in feels faster. A 1Ghz should NOT feel slow. I have a 266Mhz G3 with
384 MB RAM runing 10.3.3 and that is not slow. See what I mean?

Panther's GUI is supposed to feel on par with Mac OS 9's GUI, speedwise.
I think you may have misunderstood my question as I am simply
saying that THIS Mac feels much slower, hesitations when switching
window or app etc.
I have an MDD, a G4 "Gb" and I recently

Hi y'all!
I have a very new PowerBook 1GHz 15" Alu with Panther.
I have updated it to X.3.3 and not installed any odd stuff,
just the standard. 768MB RAM.
However, it does feel very slow with the GUI response, for
instance swapping tabs in Safari or switching program,
opening windows and such like.
