Internet problems

[jordankerr]

Hello,

I recently just started using an IMac 700 mhz G4 with 512 MB of RAM again. I had not used it in a couple of years, but moved into a new apartment and thought I would use it as my internet computer.

When I connected it to the internet it worked, but not very well. It was running on OS X 10.2.8 and a very primitive version of Safari. I thought it would speed it up if I installed Panther and newer versions of Safari.

I am now running on 10.3.9 and the internet connection has improved somewhat, but is still very slow.

For example, my wife tried to go to Ikea.com and it has problems just displaying the website correctly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I wouldn't think that the computer is slowing you down, more likely the modem connection.

What connection are you using? Broadband? Dial-up? Speed?

Some of the early versions of Safari don't display sites properly. You could try using Firefox as your browser and see if that makes a difference.
