ok. in the past two days my ibook has randomly been getting SO SLOW i cant do anything. when this happens everything just stops wi=orking and i get the beach ball... then my ibook wont start for awhile. then when i get to the login screen it wont login and i keep hitting enter ind it makes a beeping sound. it kinda sounds like someone going WHOOP. now whenever it happens i smack it at the sides a few times and it will eventualy stop being slow.

it is going on 3 years old. any ideas ? personaly i think something is loose inside it... any suggestions would be nice. im not sure if i have what it takes to get it apart.... ive installed ram in it before but... i didnt take it apart completely.

ANY suggestion would be nice. it makes me mad

Heres the info

Prossesor: 600 MHz PowerPC G4

Memory: 640 MB DDR SDRAM

Airport Extreme Card

Hmmmm I dont think your hard drive is long for this world. That's rather what it sounds like to me. Make a backup now if you can.

Have you run the Apple hardware test CD?
