| Please don't compare OS 9 with OS X. It would be like putting Windows 3.1 on a Pentium 4 machine and then comparing its performance with Windows XP. Of course OS 9 is faster. There's less stuff working in it. OS X rocks. I come from a UNIX/Linux environment, so I never was a fan of OS 9 or below. They were "toy" OS's in my opinion.
My mother just bought an iMac 1Ghz. It seems slow to me with the 256MB of memory compared to my iBook 700mhz with 640MB of memory. So memory is the key. Put as much as you can in your systems. OS X loves memory. |
