yea, you both would see a huge performance gain if you got a better video card, right now you are limited to that rage 128 card. a radeon or better would show a big improvement (altho still slow in allot of places)

i have a GF2 MX and it isn't that bad, the dock is a bit on the sluggish side. my issue is that i have 768mb ram and its not really enough to really allow Leopard to run like it can, the HDD goes into a swap fit at times (happens at random) but does stop and starts working good again.

other then that, i have had a uptime of 14 day's without a restart ( due to updates) i have only had on app crash which is safari, and it only crashed once.
