I have 2005 G4 iBook; it's so slow; how can I speed it up?

If you suggest the use of OnyX for Tiger OS X 10.4.11 at least direct people who

honestly may think they need it, to a site where they won't get adware or other

malicious add-ons as part of their unsuspecting download. {Not softonic, etc.}

(find onyx here, this is the maker's site)

For the older iBook G4 (mid-2005) with limited resources, such as 37GB HDD

and up to 1.5GB RAM, and either 1.33GHz/1.42GHz, 12" or 14" display, a

good upgrade is to replace the tiny original hard disk drive with at least 160GB

and also get a replacement battery such as macsales.com has for these. The

same company also has a legacy SSD for ATA/IDE computers, that may help.

Alternative OS include linux unix derivatives for Mac, so the powerPC Mac

can dual boot into something other than OS X. (Since they can't run OS 9.2.2

as a native system under OS X) and if you do try Leopard 10.5.8, it is slower

than Tiger and not as polished a system as Tiger was in the PowerPCs. Also

with a tiny hard disk drive, there is no room for swap files or virtual memory.

Although my iBook G4 (mid-2005) is like new, and could stand for upgrade to

some larger HDD or SSD, the costs are almost not worth considering.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
