I’ve had my Emac (macintosh 10.4.11) for about 4 years now. I’ve updated my software (in the update software option under the apple) and deleted some old things I didn’t need, like music and documents and pictures. But I want to make it work even better, as I need this computer to last at least 2 and a half more years.
Oh and if there’s a cheap way to do it, please emphasize that cause I am,bluntly, poor.
Thanks!

Get main menu and run maintenance scripts every month or so…

Basically, just treat it like a baby. I’m using an iMac 10.4.11, have been for two years now, I do tons of graphic design, video editing, parallels, documents, video, music, blah blah EVERYTHING on it, and it shows no signs of slowing down…but I treat it like a baby. Keep it up to date, run maintenance scripts, clear internet caches/history/cookies, etc. every now and then… And it wouldn’t hurt to have some antivirus (not necessary, but it definately doesn’t hurt, and it does especially good if your mac is networked with PC’s)…

How do I make my emac work more efficiently?

I have currently 3 Windows computers that are wireless, through a Linksys wireless-G Router and i was wondering if i could get my eMac connected wirelessly to the internet, and what to buy? Do i just need to buy a certain wireless card for the eMac?

yes, you only need an internal or external wireless card or divice

What do I need to get to get my eMac wireless internet?
How do you set up wireless internet on an eMac with OS X 10.2.6?

Ok, so i know its a little dated but i have a perfectly fine eMac computer. i want to set up the internet but i just cant figure it out. i am not so computer savvy so im completely lost when it comes to acronyms such as, TCP/IP and PPPoE. i poked around the internet looking for and answer and i thought i got my answer when i read that you need an “airport extreme card;’ however,upon further reading i realized i need OSX 10.7 or greater. Damn! SO…my questions are, what do these acronyms mean, if i need an “airport extreme card” is there one compatible with OSX10.2.6, and how do i set up wireless internet on my eMac? Thanks!

Your eMac did not come with a wireless internet adapter, the Airport Card (or Airport Extreme card, depending on the age of your eMac) is a wireless adapter that fits into the eMac, but the card is really not available for purchase anymore.

You may need to look for an external USB wireless interface adapter that is compatible with OSX 10.2.6
