Hi folks, I'm starting to try and set up my new 9600 to run OSX. It's a 9600/200 w/ 32 mb RAM. I'm going to start by adding ram, then upgrading the OS to 9.1, then adding a CPU upgrade and mybe a video card.
Question 1: I see lots of 128 mb dimms by an outfit called ramdirect on ebay for 20 bucks a stick. Says it's compatible with G3/4 upgrade cards. Anyone have any experience with this outfit? Or any other recommendations? Question 2: I will either be transplanting my Formac G3/400 card from my 9500 or getting a G4 card. Would money be better spent on a video card and sticking with the G3 rather than a G/4 700? Or should I plan on getting a video card anyway, regardless of processor card used? What's a good card that will give me more interface speed without being overkill? My frame of reference for speed is that I am using 10.1.5 on a 333mhz fruit imac, and it's tolerable, though I wish screen redraws and window resizing were better. I use 8.5.1 on the 9500 w/ G3/400, and it's snappier on screen, but slower doing actual work than my imac 333 using 10.1. I would like to jump to panther on all machines if possible for compatibliy of various software needs. Steve __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
