Okay so here's the deal, I bought this iMac G3 about six months ago and it is amazingly fast. I'll admit it's no road runner but it still packs a punch for it's age. Anyways, I downloaded the latest version of iTunes that is compatible with my machine, iTunes 8. Whenever I use the visualizer, it plays back really choppy although when I use the same CD in iTunes 2.0.4 on OS 9 it works fine. Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

It's because on OS 9, that version of iTunes and its visualizer were geared towards the iMac G3. iTunes 8 is definitely more made for more modern computers, and the G3 probably can't handle it well.
You can't change memory allocation in Mac OS 10.4. That feature only existed in classic Mac OS.
Right. He confused me w talk of System 9.
iTunes 8 requires Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later.
