I included a picture of the desktop and the iBook itself which i customized

No, there is no way to make that thing faster.

You could run Adblock Plus since you are using Firefox. Click Tools and than Add-ons and do a search for the above app.

Disable your Spotlight and Dashboard. Other than that, there's not much else you can do.

Funny, I have a problem with my mac mini 2.26 and I'm relegated to using my iBook G4 1.33...

The memory on this thing is only 768mb.

I dropped a 320gb hard drive in it, though.

I am completely impressed with it's speed running 10.5.8

The only bump the blueberry iBook owner can get is a bigger faster hard drive.

I am wondering if my iBook is performing so well right now because of the large hard drive...

I have dashboard disabled. Not spotlight.

I find that it is my HP scanner/printer that hogs A LOT of CPU and always have to quit it.

Other than this, it is surprisingly fast.

OP should get a new hard drive.

Yeah I have a slow 4,200rpm drive in my PB and that is "slowing" it down. What is the size of the OP's HDD? I sure hope it's not the stock 10gb? A faster drive or larger capacity will definitely speed things up. I'm going to be installing Compact Flash in my Powerbook to help speed things up a big

Your stuck with the ram maxed out,it is only a 366Mhz,I used a couple 466Mhz iBooks with maxed out ram till I got my MB,they ran it fine,but 366 is extremely slow these days.
