Newbie apple questions
Ok, so i have been using a PC for years and just bought my first apple. I love it, X11 is great, i love how the file structure is the same as linux, i love all of the linux apps that have been ported over and i love i tunes.
Ok enoughf of that i have a question. I am running Dream Weaver MX on it. It is a ibook G4 933 with 256 ram. Dream weaver gets cranks some times, just a bit slow when dealing with large php files. So if i took out the 128 chip and replaced it with a 512 do you think that would fix it or is it just the chip is too slow for the application? Oh, i also run I-Tunes, Nitro(jabber im client) Thunderbird(email client) and a few web windows at the same time.
I think that i will buy a power book in a few months when i learn more about apples but untill then i would like to get some of my money out of the i book, considering it will be donated to the gf when i get the pb.

RAM is the cheapest and easiest way to speed up your machine with MacOS X (or just about any Unix derivative with a good virtual memory model). 128MB is, a bare minimum, 512 will be more than adequate for most uses.
Kensington and Crucial are both really good RAM dealers with decent (if not rock bottom cheap prices).
