isync-entourage-addressbook-palm problem: 6,000 addresses

P

Pete

hi - entoruage is extremely slow when i want to look up an address
(average 30 second to 1 minute wait time per address). i have about
6,000 contacts, maybe half of which are duplicates from palm hotsync
operations that i would like to dump or merge.

i'd be happy with entourage if it weren;t so slow. i sue a g4 with 512
MB Ram, 0sx 10.3.9, 1.33GHZ Powerbook G4 with entourage 11.2.1 ( i
think i have uploaded the latest service pack).

what can i do to
1 - speed up my address book search
2 - remove the duplicate contacts (they are not all exact duplciates,
many are off by a space or two or some quotation marks, the result of
various hot syncs)
3 - speed up the search function of my computer in finder

should i upgrade to the newest jungle beast (OS 10.4 ?)?
should i use isync and use address book and ical and apple mail rather
than entourage?

thanks
- peter
