I am attempting to set up a computer lab as part of my chemistry
lab. I can
use 6 blue slot loading 350 MHz machines or 6 indigo slot loading
400 MHz
machines. Which would be better? Does it make a difference? I
will be
running either OS 10.2 or 10.3. The machines will be networked
using cat 5e
cable and ethernet switches with a wireless router. Any advice?
Are these
machines reliable?
I'd go for the 400 MHz machines. FireWire ports plus you can put in
an airport
card (I know you said you're cabling them but you might want to go
wireless at
some point). I'd recommend at least 256 MB each if you're going to be
running
OS X.
I've had a 400 MHz iMac for almost 5 years now with no major problems
(I've
replaced the hard drive and the pram battery).
Hope this helps,
