When I first installed 10.4, it was slow as hell. I mean, apps took like up to 4 minutes to launch. After doing all the updates, and repairing permissions (that was REALLY screwed up) and then running ALL the cron scripts
it seems to have settled down.
2 of the first things I did was to kill spotlight, and kill dashboard
it helped, but it still is a tad slow right now. I assume by tomorrow, it will be good as new
When I got it, it had like 128MB RAM, and it ran 10.2. Why in the heck would apple ship a machine with 128MB of ram on an X system? that's like suicide of a product line almost. The machines will swap like hell, and with the slow HDDs they put in there, it is just killing the system.
Anyways, these are the specs i have it at now:
17" eMac 700Mhz G4
64K L1 Cache/256K L2 (1:1 Ratio)
40GB ATA/66 HDD. apparently it's a 5400RPM.
DVD/CD-RW (DVD part is dead, will look into replacing that. I need time to go into the system)
Lucent Wifi Card (although it sticks out from the Optical bezel, which I am about to take off)
640MB PC-133 DIMM (128+512
)
apple Black Pro Keyboard, and Logitech wireless notebook mouse
