Rolf,
I had noticed that my drives where indexing all the time, so turning it
off will probably help. I will try this now that you told me how to do
it. The fact is that I have several Lacie FW drives, and each time I
plug one in, or if I commit the sin of carrying a search with Spotlight,
there it goes with indexing and I'm short of power.
I wish I could find a shareware to check the RAM. I had Guru for OS9,
and last time I used it, it told me that all is fine. But does it really
satisfy the OSX requirements, maybe not.
And the scans I work with are sometimes 800 Mb work size. It was not a
problem with OS 10.2 and PS 7, but now it seems that I have a completely
different set of tools.
Thanks for your hints!
Regards,
Paul

Turn off Journaling with DiskUtility for the drive, although this raises
the risk of loosing files if the machine crashes. BTW, OSX is more
sensitive to timing issues of the memory than OS9 was. So maybe
a faulthy Ram stick is the reason for your crashes.
My girlfriend works on a G4/433 (mainly still under OS9, yes Quark 4),
and working under 10.3 (Jaguar) does not do such a big difference.
You just have to accept, this is an old machine, and working in
Photoshop with 100Meg files isn't fun in PS6 under OS9 either.

experience slow down and unexpected freezes.
My G4 is a dual 500 MHz and it has 1,5GB of RAM, lots of disk space,
but it seems inappropriate to run the programs. Working on large
Photoshop files is almost impossible, especially if I have another
program, say Golive, opened at the same time. Maybe my problem is not
due to the software installed but to some other reason. I have
sometimes Classic launched in the background. Have you had good
yields with such equipment? Thanks for the feedback!
