I've got a 2003 (gosh, is it that old?) PowerMac G5 that is really starting to show its age. Heck, my iPod and iPad play videos more smoothly than it can! Everything from importing photos to movies to photoshop is slow. And forget about games!

Unfortunately I'm not in a financial position at the moment to buy a new Mac (and forget about suggesting a PC, because I will refuse!), so the only thing I can do is try to squeeze a bit more speed out of the computer I have. Sony psp vita games. Got any ideas? Here are the current specs: Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors RAM maxed out at 4GB 1 TB and 500 GB hard drives installed DVD burner Mac OS X 10.5.8 (the last version that will run on PPC). The computer you have shouldn't be THAT slow, not much slower than today's low-end computers. 4 gb RAM is pretty decent and should be enough even nowadays. Main problem is most programs are not updated anymore for the ppc platform and the last compatible versions are aging, especially those from Apple itself. One useful exception is tenfourfox which even comes in a g5 optimized version.

VLC is still pretty up to date, too. A new SSD will make your computer boot faster and open programs quicker, otherwise it won't make much difference. I agree that a clean install would probably be most useful (and without spending more;-) ).
