Have you tried HTML5 YouTube? Apparently it works well even on the faster G4s.

Agreed. Leopard really takes advantage of the power those G5 towers
have. It ran great on our dual 2.0Ghz G5. Runs smooth as butter :)

Well, my iMac (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 3Gb ram, 10.6) crashed last night,
and when I went to boot it this morning, it starts to boot, gets to

Reseting everything to the default might fix your problem... If not, I
don't think I'd run it too often or lean over the back a lot...

That's a software problem, the slash means it can't find key

I had one that I got that had a bad HD, it would make a clicking

a little to unstick whatever was stuck inside.
Yup, sounds like trouble in the making. You probably have some
corruption in your system. Here's a list of the basic system restore
steps, one of these should help. Just go through the list until the
problem clears up.

On PPC computers, you can't boot from a USB drive. Since it doesn't
have FireWire, I don't think you can boot from an external drive. You
can boot from an internal DVD drive, though, and the connector is the
same standard one that's used on most other compact drives in laptops
and such.

Best thing to do is as Clark suggested and hold the mouse key at
startup. Or, if you can boot it into the firmware, (hold down option
as it boots, if you get boot device icons that's the firmware)
Kernel panics are usually caused by failing/incompatible hardware.
I've had USB bluetooth dongles, bad RAM and bad PCI cards cause kernel
panics. I would try unplugging everything non essential, including
internals, and put in the minimum RAM to run OSX. Try a different

To be honest, there's not a whole lot of performance difference

the most performance boost.

Well, remember the Bondi has a lower RAM limit, probably 256, but you
