 Speeding up my G3 Hello. I have a G3. I would like to speed it up with some software. Is there anything I can run to close some background apps that arent needed e.t.c... Thanks Charlie

| What do you have running already? If it's a basic, stock, unmodified install of OS X, then it's pretty much running at the maximum speed it's going to run. What programs have you added since you installed OS X?

| You could try replacing the video card with something that supports Core Image, although I don't know of any Mac compatible video cards off the top of my head that are available for PCI slots (assuming this is a Power Macintosh G3 B&W).
