Hi, Listers!
I'm getting a Wallstreet with a 6 Gb HD, 288 Mb RAM, and 233 MHz G3.
It's going to be used mainly for light Web browsing, and a few
Excel spreadsheests. Nothing processor-intensive.
I was wondering if OS X.3 would run OK on this machine, or if I
should stay with OS 9.2.2. I have OS X.2, too. But I've grown
acustomed (spell?) to OS X.3.9, it runs very well in my iMac 400
MHz with 320 Mb.
Thank you for your input.

Runs great on my WS I/292, with only 162MB. I think about how much
better it would be if it could support more memory, but I've had some
issues with larger memory. The sound of broken glass at startup with
two different sticks that work in other computers. It did this with
the original processor, too, a 233 like yours. I think that the
processor upgrade would be worthwhile if you really like Panther more
than Jaguar. This comp had issues with Jaguar; it ran more slowly,
wouldn't wake from sleep, and it had some serious video issues
(screen would turn blank, for example, or it would 'melt'). The
upgrade to Panther fixed all those issues, but ran slowly until I
upgraded the processor, not that it's blazing fast now, mind, but it
runs quite well for my needs.
