Making Macs Faster? Need Feedback... Options

[E rouge]

hello everyone. I am a new apple user. I have been a PC user for years, and I made the swich about 1 week ago. I always heard that apples were better for audio, so now I get to ee for my self. I came here because I wanted feedback and help from the apple users who are more fimilar with macs. here are my systems specs.

dual 867 mhz g4
1 GB DDR ram
60 GB hard drive
motu 828
logic 4.8
os 9.2


I have to use OS 9, because the lac of support for os X drivers and stuff. Any ways, I wass using an

AMD 1600 Xp (1.4 ghz)
50 GB HD,
logic 5.3,
XP PRO
640 DDR ram
motu 828


I was finding that when using peak 3 , that it was slower then my PC when importing mp3, or converting wave and AIFF. I was wondering, how can I make my mac fast?

it seems to me, as my mac is slower then my PC. The fastest mac now is only a 1.25 GHz, compared to PC GHZ. yes I know abut the GHZ myth, I dont want to get into that, but how fast is my mac, compared to a PC?

Do other mac users find their macs slow? I guess maybe I am just use to the speed of my old PC. Is there anyway I can increase the speed of my mac> I have 1 GB DDR ram, that should be more then enough. Anyone have an tips or tricks, or links on how to make my mac faster for audio?

thanks in advance.
