Bleah! > > How does Panther or even Jaguar run on your B&W? From Jaguar on, both Smurfs have had G4/450 processors. Jaguar ran great on the original G3, though both units had max ram. Tiger ran quite well with ~G4 Inside~ and 1GB ram... even DVD playback was acceptable. I have a Grape iMac 333 MHz that has Panther installed and it seems to run okay, but I seldom have the machine up and running. I =think= that machine has 128 MB ram... pilfering the extra for a notebook boxen. I've thought about trying to install Tiger on the Grape, but having my Intel iMac has moved that project way downward on the to-do list. ;-) Amanda --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
