Will an iBook G3 run fast with OS9?

I have a 700mhz iBook G3 with OSX Tiger and maxed out RAM. It runs okay with OSX, but it's slow and the 20gb hard drive runs fairly hot at 50-54 degrees celsius. I was wondering about whether it would run much faster and cooler if I did a clean install of OS9 on it, updating it to 9.2.2. I know a lot of software wouldn't run anymore on it, but the downgrade would be worth it if it would run a LOT faster and be capable of video editing with old versions of Final Cut or Premiere. Would the old versions of Photoshop, internet browsers, etc... be able to create and read decently modern file formats?
Would this work? How much faster would it run? What do you think about this idea?
Please let me know. Thanks.

Do you have the original system CDs that came with the iBook?
I wouldn't advise trying to run Mac OS 9 if you want to use the iBook on the internet. The browsers that are available for OS 9 are not nearly as up to speed as those available for Mac OS X.
The iBook is about seven years old, so it is not going to be a speedy computer, no matter what you do. Probably the best upgrade you could make is a new, faster, larger hard drive, but it may not be worth the time, trouble, or expense.

  • Any settings that can be adjusted to make everything run faster with Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of any settings or adjustments that can be tweeked to make my machine run faster with Mountain Lion?
    Thanks, Jason

    yes you can do it yourself - it's actually a simple upgrade - i use a ssd in my macbook and have the RAM maxed out to 16GB.
    as for what brands should you consider, here are some good ones.
    Sandisk Extreme - Currently the fastest one out there.
    Kingston HyperX - Second fastest - this is what I have in my 13 Inch Late 2011.
    Samsung 830 series - Fast and uses less battery power - this is what's installed in the Macbook Retina.
    Crucial M4 - Also a fast SSD - I have the 512GB installed in my 15 inch Late 2011.
    If you decide to install one of these ssd in your Macbook - let me know if you need a step by step on how to clone your drive.
    Good luck..

  • Does SQL Query run faster with/without Conditions....

    Hi All, forgive my novice question.
    Was just wondering" In general if we run a SQL query on a single table; does my query run faster if there are multiple where conditions? or without. What happens if the conditions increase? My table is a big one with 5 million rows and some bitmap indexes defined on it.
    Thanks,
    Kon

    I think it's difficult to give general rule because there are too much dependencies on the fact that the columns are indexed or not, on the way tables and indexes statistics are computed or not, on the possible session or instance parameters that the optimizer may use, on the Oracle version, etc.

  • Making Siebel Run Fast with Oracle CBO – New PPS Recommendation - optimizer

    Hi All,
    I have some good news if you are upgrading to Oracle CBO. This is a big new find that we discovered a few weeks back.
    There is a certain class of queries that run very slow with the default Siebel recommended settings. Please keep in mind that in order to properly do explain plans in 10G with Siebel SQL you need to issue the following alter session statements. Also if you are using TOAD you have to uncheck the run queries in parallel since if that option is checked a new session will be launched and your options won’t be set.
    ALTER SESSION SET OPTIMIZER_MODE = FIRST_ROWS_10 ;
    ALTER SESSION SET "_OPTIMIZER_SORTMERGE_JOIN_ENABLED" = FALSE ;
    ALTER SESSION SET "_OPTIMIZER_JOIN_SEL_SANITY_CHECK" = TRUE;
    ALTER SESSION SET "_HASH_JOIN_ENABLED" = FALSE;
    The key new find is that the Oracle recommendation of setting optimizer_index_cost_adj = 1 is wrong! Our new recommendation is to set this parameter to 10.
    Here are some more details. This is not a silver bullet for all your Oracle performance tuning issues. Remember it is best to tune specific things that are slow from an end users perspective. In fact that is how we discovered this issue and its solution.
    There is one specific class of queries that this setting will fix. You can issue alter session statements to see the difference in your explain plans. Here is how you will know the query:
    •     Where clause on an intersection table and index that exists that would find just one row. This is the index we want Oracle to use.
    •     Order by on BC base table and another index exists that would satisfy the order by. We don’t want to use this index since millions of rows would be accessed.
    •     Explain plan shows the index for the order by is used instead of the index for the where clause that would have found a single row.
    Here is the actual statement we encountered that lead to our discovery.
    WHERE
    T8.PR_HELD_POSTN_ID = T2.PAR_ROW_ID (+) AND
    T2.BU_ID = T5.ROW_ID (+) AND
    T7.ROW_ID = T4.PAR_ROW_ID AND
    T7.ROW_ID = T8.PAR_ROW_ID AND
    T7.ROW_ID = T3.PAR_ROW_ID AND
    T7.ROW_ID = T6.PAR_ROW_ID (+) AND
    T8.PR_RESP_ID = T1.ROW_ID (+) AND
    (T8.EMP_FLG = 'Y') AND
    (T3.LOGIN = 'UATUSER')
    ORDER BY
    T8.LAST_NAME, T8.FST_NAME
    In addition at OOW this week we heard that an Oracle RAC expert presented Siebel on RAC and recommended setting this parameter back to its default of 100. We also talked with a very senior DBA colleague who made the same discovery over a year ago and is running with is parameter set to 25.
    I can tell you that for us any setting from 1-9 gave the bad access path. 10 fixes the issue.
    This find is so important that we wanted to get this out to the Siebel community ASAP.

    Hi All,
    I know it is bad to reply to your own posts but this one is too good. Here is another example of this that all of us have.
    With oica = 1 the m1 index is used and this runs a long time. With oica = 10 m6 is used and that clearly is the index Oracle wants to use since it matches the where clause exactly.
    This is from the basic select we all run as part of Server Tables Clean Up. I am even including the alter session statements so you can see the drastic improvement yourself.
    ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_mode = FIRST_ROWS_10;
    ALTER SESSION SET "_OPTIMIZER_SORTMERGE_JOIN_ENABLED" = FALSE;
    ALTER SESSION SET "_OPTIMIZER_JOIN_SEL_SANITY_CHECK" = TRUE;
    ALTER SESSION SET HASH_JOIN_ENABLED = FALSE;          -- "_HASH_JOIN_ENABLED" in 10G
    ALTER SESSION SET OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ = 1; -- then change this to 10 and run EP again.     
    SELECT
    T1.CONFLICT_ID,
    T1.LAST_UPD,
    T1.CREATED,
    T1.LAST_UPD_BY,
    T1.CREATED_BY,
    T1.MODIFICATION_NUM,
    T1.ROW_ID,
    T1.ACTION_ID
    FROM
    SIEBEL.S_SRM_REQUEST T1
    WHERE
    ((T1.STATUS IN ( 'SUCCESS' ) OR T1.STATUS IN ( 'EXPIRED' ) OR T1.STATUS IN ( 'COMPLETE' ))
         AND T1.TGT_DELETE_TS <= TO_DATE('11/20/2007 16:26:27','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))

  • Will mac book air run properly with photoshop when I use the Thunderbolt dispay?

    I would like to get a MB Air 13"; can I use Photoshop with it?  Will Thunderbolt Display work well with at?
    Thank you

    The answer is Yes and Yes. Unless you are editing huge files, Photoshop should run adequately on a MacBook Air.
    You can check it out at an Apple Store before you purchase, and see if it meets your expectations.
    Btw, you may want to consider the i7 version just for slightly better performance.

  • 10g query running faster with RBO than CBO

    I am running a query in Oracle 10g that is taking 1minute 15 seconds to run using the CBO. All the tables and indexes in the query are fully analyzed. However if i add a /*+ Rule */ hint to the query and force the optimizer to RBO it runs in 5 seconds.
    Anyone any ideas why this would occur? it's contrary to everything Oracle says about CBO and problematic as RBO is no longer supported in 10g
    Any help / advice greatfully appreciated
    Thanks

  • Fans Running Fast With Kona Card LHe?

    Hi,
    I have a Power Mac G5 Quad, and it makes noise with fan kicking on after it goes to the sleep mode? I took all the 3rd hardware off it, memory, drives and etc. The LHe Kona I have installed and when my quad is put on the "sleep" mode the fans kick on?, but when I move my mouse it stops? Anyone of you guy have this problem? Thank you Tim C.

    Hi
    Cool thank for the info, now I know I am not alone, hmmm tried taking out all the hardware added hardware too, made it stop, as I tested each area, drive, memory, Kona card, etc, just going to bite the bullet, dont know what else to do, contacted support, no answers hmmm T.

  • I use Firefox. My MacBook Pro is pretty low on space. I've been told that Chrome is a "lighter" browser, therefore my Mac might run faster with Chrome true?

    I am trying to unload applications I do not need and moving video/pix files to other storage locations

    hello hlascarro, i don't think that the sentiment that chrome would be "lighter" than firefox can be considered valid - i'm on windows, so i cannot say if it's the same for mac too, but the chrome install-folder here takes nearly triple the amount of disk space than firefox (138MB vs. 50MB) and in numerous browser comparisons firefox was generally also using less RAM resources...

  • Will an SSD make MOTION run faster?

    As it says, will it run faster?
    I'm currently on a god awful 5400rpm HDD :/
    Motion 5 is slightly slow when rendering my projects, it exports fast and all's good. However when i want to play around with my projects it's so juttery.
    Espcially when i click PLAY, it won't PLAY, it'll stutter A LOT.
    Thoughts?

    Heya Matt,
    Motion does most of its heavy lifiting with the graphics card. An SSD will technically make Motion run faster, but upgrading the gfx card will produce the best performance increase. Have you tried optimising your playback performance in the Render settings? Draft quality, quarter resolution, etc.
    Hope that helps!

  • Installed Lion on late 2010 Air-Seems to Run Faster

    Can anyone confirm of rejet this notion.  My MacBook Air, late 2010 model, 1.86GHZ seems to run faster with Lion installed compared to Snow Leopard.  Apple has streamlined OSX previoulsy and was wondering if they have done it again.  Certainly not having to support Rosetta and related software should have reduced OS clutter.
    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    For one thing the kernel is now running in 64 bit mode...

  • Hello , please am having a problem with my iphone 5 , the battery runs out quickly , also if i turn on 3G it will run faster , 15 minutes and the iphone battery will be out , and my final problem is that is "no service " appears a lot can you help ?

My final problem is that  "no service " appears a lot  especially when opening wifi or 3G , can you help ?

    Your battery is running quickly because your cellular data connection is weak.

  • Will my duel 800 G4 work with Leopard? Its fast than the 867 G4?

    My duel 800 G4 was the top of the line when I purchased it, much faster than the 867 G4, which seems to be the limit on the new Leopard operating system. Will I still be able to upgrade? I have seen on other Apple forums many people asking the same question? I would appreciate any help.

    Well, the minimum system requirements that Apple tells us really aren't always totally truthful. For example, they say OS 10.4 needs a minimum 256 MB Ram, and a DVD drive. That isn't true. I have tested this on a few different machines and found that the true minimum requirements are 192 MB for installation, 128 MB for running. On an ibook G3 500 mhz with 128 MB RAM, 10.4 ran surprisingly well. It was a little laggy of course, but it was stable and reliable. Also, you do not need a DVD drive, as you can use target disk mode to install the system from another computer (yes, the other computer needs a dvd drive...but I am speaking in specifics). What they say in their requirements is for the general public, but most of the time they aren't entirely dogmatic on those requirements.
    If it were my guess, I would say 10.5 will probably run on your system. If they entirely cutoff installation based on clockspeed, I'm guessing some mac-hacker will figure it out.
    Also, as far as your computer being top of the line "when you bought it"-that's the issue. Basically everyone's mac was top of line or near top of the line at it's release. But we all know the computer industry is not a slow moving market. Your computer can be outdated in a few months or a year. I helped a guy buy his first mac a few months ago (imac). 2 days later Apple released the new imac. That's the nature of computers. And you really can't expect Apple to keep supporting machines approaching 7 years old (my ol' Gigabit). They want to be at the head of the market, and pushing the old out is some times the only way to do it.
    You always have the option to upgrade your system. Go and look at some cpu upgrade cards. They aren't all that expensive. For $400 I turned my dual 450 to a dual 1.4 Ghz (and don't forget the level 3 cache). Third party upgrades are what keep us old timers goin.

  • Should I upgrade to Macericks now from 10.6.8 on my i-Mac(mid 2007, core 2 duo?). Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ? 10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about future supportibility?

    Should I upgrade to Mavericks now from 10.6.8 (i-Mac, mid 2007, core 2 duo)? Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ?  I have the latest version of 10.6.8 and have upgraded my memory to 4GB. This could be one reason for me to make the move now.
    10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about lack of support now. I know my PC apps will not work but maybe some apps that work now will "walk away" from 10.6.8 and then there's the security question of above.
    I am also concerned about iPhoto 9 transition to i-Photo 11 and compatibility of my Time Machine WD Passport HD (format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) based on several questions in applicable forums.
    Thanks for your help in this important decision!

    If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard. It's much better suited to your old hardware. That said:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Ibook g4 running 10.4.11 will not find my iphone ?

    I have just bought this ibook g4 running 10.4.11 but i cant download latest version of itunes and the itunes what is on it will not conect to my phone well saying that i did get it to conect once but it would not let me do anything i have read that i need to update to 10.5.8 but when i click search for updates it says all  programes are uptodate i am new to using apple mac so could any 1 help me please with some easy to understand info thanks.

    You need to use a newer Mac OS X version. A G4 can be upgraded to 10.5.8(if desired, buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay), but you'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.
