Hello to all.
Sooner or later I will reinstall OSX in my daughter's iMac. It's a
slot loading G3/500/256 with no DVD capabilities.
I've read elsewhere that the best OSX for that level of machine is 10.2
Get better sources. Panther will run fine on this machine and from
all I've heard so will Tiger. I've put Panther on 350MHz iMacs with
256 Mb and they work fine. I haven't installed Tiger on any so I
can't say from direct experience but have heard from good sources
that it works okay.
I'd love to go Tiger but It might require more horsepower than what
it has. I could increase the RAM to 521 MB though.
Pushing the RAM up to 512Mb would always be a good idea.
Panther tends to run faster than Jaguar, slightly. Don't always
assume a newer version is slower, more demanding of resources.
Is there a version of Tiger supplied on several CDs, not on a DVD?
If you buy the retail Tiger release you can send away to Apple for CDs.
