Declan Chase Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've got an old PM G4 Sawtooth upgraded to 1.2Mhz, with just over 1GB of RAM and a Radeon 9000 video card. I'm running 10.3.9. Will I run into any speed degradation with 10.4? Is it worth it to upgrade or should I stick with 10.3.9? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Chase Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks. I suppose I'll go current then I run into really sluggish behavior when switching between apps, especially when I have photoshop and/or indesign running. I assume that's normal since Adobe apps are always memory hogs. Does anyone know if there is a way to speed this behavior up - or is there anything in 10.4 that corrects this?

Paranoid Marvin Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I would say Tiger is fine, just on the grounds of your RAM. As for the adobe apps..... More RAM perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Chase Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm guessing RAM is the solution. Geez, how much do these apps need? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four! Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 1GB of RAM will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Chase Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Upgraded with no issues. Had to fix some settings, but otherwise everything worked out well. Classic is much faster and more stable. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
