i have a emac 700 mhz with 768 mb ram and tiger...hate it
its ungainly slow and al i do is surf the internet
after barley a day of use it bogs down and slows to a crawl
Upgrade to 1 GB - apps using up memory and then hitting swap slows it down.
Erase and reinstall Tiger - bad install or maybe hard drive fragmentation.
The 1.42 GHz eMac with 2 GB RAM, Radeon 9600 64 MB graphics, 160 GB HD, and a SuperDrive makes a fantastic PPC machine that can even take on some light gaming. Choose Leopard if you want to be up-to-date or Tiger if you need to run older apps in Classic.
i doubt an extra 256 mb wil make that much of a difference on this dog of a emac
tiger has been reinstalled several times no difference so far
the internal drive is shot so
i have to boot of a usb drive and tiger is the only one who does that
jaguar and panther kernel panic and os 9 doesnt even bother to show up
tiger is probably the worst os for this machine other then leopard
i am in no hurry to upgrade to leopard unless it becoms mandatory
other then finding it ugly the additions superfluous ( as in i dont want or need to use them ) the minimum requirements are rather steep
ill stick with tiger and panther
