Thanks for the snappy response! When I get to my Mac Mini next, I'll give iFree Map (I think that's what you said) a try. Maybe the memory requirements for Tiger have increased since I bought my Mac, which could explain why it's slow even though I just formatted. But then, I'd probably just get a new Mac rather than mess with adding memory to that impossible little box.
-
Yeah, you might as well just get a new machine, as it will be intel. It's iFreeMem, btw :)
-
Yay, Intel! If only I could justify it, seeing as I just got a new Eee PC, iPod Touch and cell phone. D;

Yeah, might want to get a job lol. I need to get one too. Too much I need to buy.
-
I might get one for x-mas if my dad is feeling generous.

I thought it was pronounced "Add"ium, oh well. I'll continue to be wrong.
I've got a question for yah Truman, how would I clean out my speaker holes on my MacBook Pro? They've got the dust in them!
Also, was that Tokyo Train Station I heard in the background?

After looking at the video, I agree the memory can help speed up a little a PPC based mac (I've a powermac g3 with 753 MB RAM). More memory will help "only" OSX not to swap to much with the disk. But a PPC computer will never equal in speed with an Intel one. The processor is the limiting factor.
Defragmenting as far as I know is not required from OS X. The fil system is "smart" enough to not grament files. Just like the file system found on linux, BSD, UNIX.

I saw a review of a defrag program for the Mac: It made the machine faster, but just by milliseconds.
-
Yeah, I read some paper also. You just get some millisecond because the disk wasn't really fragmented. A disk becomes a slowing factor when it's fragmented more than 50% (even more)... Under 10%, no need to defragment.

@ Zak: I actually was googling how to say it before I recorded this. Most of the results said "aid-ium," so that's what I went with. I found an article that said that people that work for adium all say it differently too, so there really is no wrong answer. The song was from the Leopard Intro video that plays when you install leopard, If you want a copy, let me know.
@Emily: Thanks :]
