Oh, yeah. Page loading is miserably slow. Are you using a PowerPC Mac or Mactel?

One of each. Lots of RAM though.

Something just really sounds wrong with yours

Safari does like to eat up RAM.

Is 2GB enough on a 2.0 GHz Core Duo 20" iMac or a 17" Mac Book Pro with the same proc?[wink]

Have you tried another browser to see if there's a difference? Firefox 2.0 screams compared to Safari with its slow assed progress bar.

the required minimum for that machine is Eleventeen voltron sized gigabytes
so you need to upgrade :mrgreen:

But yes something does sound funny with that, with 2gb ram it should run fine, its probably something that is plugged up.
I have been lookin at new macs, but in all honesty its not worth it. I like them but my company is 100% windows, and a lot of the systems we have to program use a modified Access database, so i guess I am goin to buy a new dell soon. Because my laptop has about had it. Its like a 40yr old hooker, it still works, and it still gets the job done, but things come faster if it was a brand new model doing the same job if you know what i mean. :mrgreen:

too add sorry about the idiot that got your info, does your card have fraud protection?

These Mactels are way more responsive with Windows XP on them. OS X has to do code transforms on the fly until all of the software can be x86 compatible with Universal Binaries.

Nearly everything I run is native.

The only thing I use that isn't is HP ImageZone utils for my printer.

That should be plenty of RAM.

I'll admit there have been times I've been forced to use other browsers because a page / site wasn't compatible with Safari.

Do you have an example of a URL that's slow to load in Safari but isn't in Firefox?

I used Firefox exclusively on my work PC (sort of like an issued firearm -- they provide it and I have to use it).

:oops:

Fair enough. That's what I get for making an ASSumption. I made an ass.... wait that doesn't work.

The whole "I haven't used this card till recently and all of a sudden someone's using it" tipped me off, and coupled with the original post I assumed you'd bought those things online.

Heck, I don't know of any anti-spyware software for Macs. Then again I'm running Linux so I'm equally safe while completely without specific protection.

Good luck whatever it turns out to be.

I still think that's significant.

I'm thinking it supports my theory though, that these smaller businesses are being hacked.
