Hello there
I have just recently popped a 333mhz processor w/ daughter card in my bondi blue original iMac. My old processor was of course the 233mhz. I have seen great improvement on opening applications, starting the system, and a smoothed out dock as well. My only irritation at this point is that when I get online or open a text document where some scrolling is required, the scrolling is still pretty choppy. Sometimes as a page is loading I will try and scroll and it will freeze for a sec then jump down a bit on the page. Am I just expecting too much here? Should I just be happy I am running OS X, or is there something I am missing?
Also, I upgraded the VRAM a little while back, I bought (supposedly) a 4mb VRAM module which should have taken my system VRAM from 2mb to 6mb but when I go into my system properties, it says 4mb total.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Mike
P.S. Below are my system specs as of today:

- 4mb VRAM (Should be 6, still workin on that)
- 4GB 5200rpm (Will be putting in Maxtor 40GB 7200)
- Standard 24x Tray Loading CD-ROM
