Skype for Mac

[scrawny]

I've downloaded the newest version of Skype. My IMac is a G3 processor with a 10.3.9 OS; 512 MB Ram.
When I first downloaded Skype I was able to get connected to my friend in Israel, no problem. Altho' we couldn't see and hear well at all. Now suddenly tho' my Skype keeps crashing as soon as we get connected.
Do you think there's any hope I can run Skype with what I've got or will I have to get another computer which of course I can't afford to do!

Part of the issue may be your type of connectivity, which is not described.

Of course, you are paddling upstream when the latest version of Skype claims to require a G4.

No... The requirements are G3 and 10.3 or above.

I was reading the following page, which claims a G4 800 Mhz processor with 10.3.9 is required for the latest Skype:

Certainly, it might be a good idea to locate an older release of Skype that can run on older hardware.

Hi Scrawny
This site seems to have older versions of Skype to download.
