That machine is nearly 15 years old, you should think about upgrading to a newer machine that is at least or newer. Although My perception of Lion is that it's not worth updating to it. Mountain Lion is again OK And if you do try to update beyond You'll need to boot from a drive running Snow Leopard or later, such as the bootable Mountain Lion drive I mentioned earlier.

When I boot using the flash disk I created, I just get an "X" icon in a circle and it keeps loading forever When I try to do this, I get an error box saying that "You don't own this file and you don't have permission to write it.
Is there any way around this? Thanks so much for your help! I copied the plish and pasted it to my desktop, I opened the plish and then changed the After that I copied the changed plish into where the original plish was.
You want to overwrite it!!!!! Thanks for your help. A detailed look at memory usage in OS X. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins and Pageouts. Pageouts is the important figure.
If the value in the parentheses is 0 zero then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used thrashing then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
Installing RAM yourself is not as difficult as you think it is. And, there are plenty of tutorials around to guide you. Adding more memory will, in no way, affect what's on my computer files and such , correct? Also assuming I didn't add more ram , once I am able to, will upgrading to Mountain Lion erase what's on my computer or no?

While the letter of the law says you need to install at least Snow Leopard before installing Mountain Lion, the spirit of the law seems to be that a particular Leopard-equipped Mac just needs a license for Snow Leopard or Lion before you can upgrade it.
In my testing with many Macs, the Mountain Lion installer, like the Lion installer before it, refuses to install onto a drive containing Leopard; in fact, it refuses to install on any drive running a version of Mac OS X below So how can you install Mountain Lion over Leopard?
There are three ways: the official way, the brute-force method, and the quick-but-techie way.
