Our definitions of "deadly slow" may be different. I run Squeak on an
old iBook...
Machine Name: iBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook6,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
...with less memory than you have and find it more than fast enough.
What are you doing with Squeak?
