Hi everyone, friday Mac help needed.

I am trying to resurrect my old iBook G4 with a 1.33 Ghz Power PC chip and 512 MB of RAM.  I was hoping it would distract my 2 year old from the computer we use day to day.  She mostly watches videos on YouTube or Netflix.  Now Netflix won't even work with a PowerPC chip and YouTube is really choppy.

Is there any hope with a RAM upgrade or is this computer beyond saving?

Thanks everyone.  Pmail please.

Jeff,

Ok on the Pmail but as this is still Friday� nope. Straight goods only no censor well, as long as we keep this Gee rated�

The YouTube and Netflix issues are part: an OS 10.3, Java and/or Video Card issue� Sorry Jeff� it's Apple forced upgrade time (again).
Additional ram will not help much, if any.
What OS are you running? 
Most iBooks will run OS 10.4 or 10.5 �.this upgrade will probably help� but, not easy to find that software anymore. Not free anyway.

Sorry�. your two year old runs a laptop? Sheeze, I waited until I was 50 before buying my first portable�. Gads how things change� 8>(
Aaah, may I suggest a box of Crayons?
