Put in as much as you can. 1gig is tight, anything over 1.5gig is
fine.
Well of course it's sluggish. It's a G4. Adding RAM will maqke it a bit
livelier, but really it's just putting lipstick on a pig.
Heh. Someone got a new Intel box recently!
My new 3.06GHz C2D Intel box has less snappy than the 2.5GHz 4G5 it
replaced.
It's a shame Snow Leopard isn't compiled for PPC, that's faster than
Leopard on the same hardware.
MacOS 7.6 is quicker than System 7.5.5 - in part because Apple dropped
support for the non-32 bit clean Macs, and so could make it all much
more CPU efficient (but slap in some more RAM: you'll need it). I
suspect something similar is going on with MacOS X 10.6.
btw, run nothing less than MacOS 7.6.1 on a PPC. Prior to that, any
error in PPC code caused a Type 11 error which requires an immediate
forced reboot with no chance to save anything.
If you can run 7.6, don't run 7.5.5 if you can avoid it. Really. 7.1
is almost as useful at 7.5.5, if you add various bolt-on goodies
(standard fitments from Apple).
