Mac Overclocking...? (just an idea)

<< < (3/5) > >>

WMD:
800Mhz iMac is slow?

Post the rest of your specs.

hm_murdock:
G4 800?

that shouldn't be slow.

very likely you have some shitty ass 128MB of RAM or something.

I had 512 in my G3 500 iMac and it was plenty fast.

IKEA:
Nope, 512mb RAM, but the comp is acting a little strange lately.
I'm going to reformat the HD tomorrow, anyway. I'll see if it's any faster then.

There are things you could try before reformating, like zap the p-ram, repair disk permissions, and use utilities like OnyX (free) or Cocktail (shareware).

This isn't windows you know....

IKEA:
Heh, fair enough, but see, another reason for me reformatting is so I finally get my ass up to weed out the approx. 15 gigs of trash I store on my computer.

Oh, and:
I tried resetting the p-ram, which didn't work.
I tried creating a new user account, which worked for about two weeks, after which these strange things started to happen again.
For instance:
Some apps don't work or crash every time I open them
App settings randomly and mysteriously get reset.
