Alas, I'm no programmer. The reason for such a thing is just what it sounds like... a need to create multiple folders at once. Do you have the knowledge to create such a script? I'd appreciate it.

The 256mb model isn't any faster than the 128mb one. The extra ram just lets you run at higher video resolutions. I'd stick with what you have.

A 9800 is the best card for a G4. The slow buses on the G4 models would make anything faster a waste of money. I'd suggest a flashed PC version as it's cheaper than the stock Mac model.

It may be a heat issue. Blow the machine out thoroughly, and leave the case cracked open slightly. If that fixes your problem, you may want to look into better cooling, or case placement.
