imac g5

[idontknowwhy]

i recently got an airport extreme card for my old i mac g5 to connect it to wifi. i am posting this from it. it is really slow on most websites(as expected from an old computer from 2004) but it seems to do fine on this website. i was wondering if anyone has any possible uses for this or if there is a way to speed it up. i use tenfourfoxG5 as a browser because safari is no longer supported by this computer.

Older versions of firefox should work. The best way to get a good experience from a machine like this is to run it on the original OS (one of the earliest supported for that model) and to use a SSD if possible, whether that means a IDE to SATA adapter, it will change the entire machine.

there's not much to do with a 12 year old system to make it go faster, i mean, we're talking PowerPC architecture here, which off memory is closer to wii u than it is to a modern PC in terms of performance

I'm pretty sure modern Ubuntu works on PowerPC. That might be fun to play around with but it probably won't perform any better. I would just use it to play PowerPC Mac games if it were me.
