Max RAM will have the most salutory effect - I'd say *AT LEAST* 512
MB is needed, 1 GB or more is even better.
I concur. I used my iBook G4 for the first week with just the stock
256Mb. Every time I switch apps the beach ball cursor sat and spun.
When I got the 1Gb upgrade it just jumped from app to app. At first
I considered the 512Mb upgrade. But then I figured I would
eventually go to 1Gb (1.25 Gb total) and my guesstimate for the cost
made the 1Gb now the more economical over all.
Will Tiger function okay on a G3/500mhz ibook?
The Tiger page at apple.com says Tiger will work on any PowerPC
G3-G4-G5 >but one seller had said 800mhz would be better and
another comment at >amazon someone said 800mhz was even too slow
for Tiger.
It'll "function okay" but whether it's fast enough is a subjective
opinion. I'd say that with max RAM a G3/500 iBook would be more
than adequate for light duty use, but if you do more than basic
stuff you'll be much happier with at least a G4/800 iBook.
