TICKET ARCHIVE -> Ibook G3/800: Flashplayer
technonyc - Nov 20, 2005 - 8:52 am
Hello. I am a dual-platformer. I own an snow iBook G3/800 and a a HP tower. When I access content on the internet that involves flash on my windows machine. I can navigate quickly, and the animations are smooth. I tried to activate the XBOX 360 website today on my iBook, which uses flash to navigate the site, and the animations were very choppy. I don't know if it has something to do with my virtual memory, or something else. Any suggestions?

Michael, welcome to macosx.com
Well, it is difficult to compare the behavior of two differents machines.
(1) As you spoke about "virtual memory", I guess you run 9.x. Right ?
So I would say: iBookG3 9.x = PII under Millenium
Which OS runs the HP ? W2000 or better XP ?
(2) what about the RAM ? How many on the iBook and how many on the HP ?
Imagine your HP W2000 with ..64Mb of RAM ??????
(3) the site, I guess, must be optimized for Windows users, so surely the latest player, with the latest technique,...so the lattest heaviest player ;-)
When I was on my iMac 400 9.x 128 Mb, I never thought at any moment to be able to navigate in a flash-based site: when I went on such site and see the flash-state of the site...I went away.
So no, I'm not surprise that the site is choppy..neither would I be surprised that some DVD movies with high-speed scenes will be choppy on your G3, not on the HP
As for games..with all the respect I due to my 2Ghz Imac G5 with 1GRam... Sims2 are more fluid on my daughter GameCube than on my G5...

Philippe

Well, G3 has a 4200 rpm hard drive..which is quite slow
How much free space do you have ?
Normally, for OSX, "one" say that you must have at least
2 X your Ram rounded to upper G + 1G
in your case 2 X 640Mb + 1G = 1.2G + 1G = 2G + 1G = 3G
To be cumfortable and to avoid macOsx for swapping, 25% of your drive capacity is recommended
