I'm looking to supercharge my G4. What are my options?
Hi, I'm the proud owner of a Power Mac G4 FW800, the dual 1.42GHz one. I just had the power supply repaired, and it runs wonderfully, other than it's starting to show its age. I'd like to know what I can do to maximize performance.
Here are my slight problems:
- Slower than desired file transfers
- Extremely slow video rendering
- iWork '09 complains about Core Image not being supported
- Minecraft 1.5.2 not exactly playable (~4 FPS, at least 15 FPS desired)
I also have the full CS4 Design Premium suite, and I'd like to get better performance out of that.
My budget is around $200, what are my options? Thanks!
