Hi Kate. I'm using a Pismo 400 with 192MB RAM & OSX runs well on it. It's not as snappy as in 9, but it's acceptable for a system wiht 192MB. I prefer the snappiness of OS9, but there are some good apps in X as well. It really depends on what apps you use. I find myself shuttling between 9 and X, but 320MB of RAM should suffice for speedy performance in 10.2.
For instance, I use Nisus Writer a lot (9 or classic only), so I find myself using OS9 a lot more than X. Other than Omnigraffle, I don't have an intense need to use OS X. But superior memory management and UNIX stability is very enticing indeed. I will shift over when I get a memory upgrade to 1GIG. Enjoy! ________________________________________________________________________ "WARNING : "Privileged/Confidential information may be contained in this message.

I'm running ox 9.2, and am satisfied with its performance. However, I'm tempted by some of the os x applications. I'd like to hear from any Pismo 400 users who have made the switch. How much does everything slow down? Do you regret moving up? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
