At any rate I prefere Panther over Jaguar, though the latter is pretty good for some stuff. You wil manage with 192, but your box will be unecessarily slow until you give at least 384MB, preferably 512 or more. If you're going to be using Jaguar, I suggest you make sure you run 10.2.8 and get a fast second HD, prefrerably on its own bus, and put your VM file on that with Swapcop or similar methods. I had 20% or so better graphics because of that, but Panther and moe RAM made a larger difference. At least in the Powerbook, unless audio in is vital, Panther is the way to go. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
