Re: what to get first?
Hi RAM will make the biggest difference in my experience. Also, if Panther works well for you you may avoid some headaches waiting for a bit - it may not make your system any better and upgrading can cause time consuming issues when it doesn't go smoothly. Having said that, Tiger is on its way to me now..

Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 06:43:12 -0500 Hi all! I have a G3 iBook just bought from a friend. It has 256 MB of SDRAM and system 10.3.9 installed. I am thinking about getting more RAM (I can have up to 640 on this iBook) but I am intrigued by the new system, Tiger, given all that I have read about it. I really can only afford one or the other right now; what would you get first? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: what to get first?

Having said that, Tiger is on its way to me now.. I agree with this. I have been using Tiger for a few weeks now and I have some issues with a couple of things. Plus, if you depend on Cisco VPN, you're out of luck right now because the latest version of the Cisco VPN client is not compatible with Tiger yet. They said they would have a new, compatible version in May but there is no telling when... -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ditching OS 9
Slightly off topic but I have a clamshell ibook that I tried to rid of OS9. The alias for the OS9 Applications folder will not go, even after some terminal commands that were mentioned on http://www.macosxhints.com/ I wonder if it may be harder to remove all traces of OS9 than simply dragging the folder to the trash?

Tiger on a clamshell
There was mention of someone having seen Tiger on a Pismo - has any one seen it running on a clamshell? We've got a 466. I also note that the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 in my G4 iBook isn't on the Core Image capable graphics card list on the Apple site. The same card is in the Mac Mini. Does anyone know if this means we'd get much poorer graphics performance? Matt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: battery power on wifi, G3 clamshell
After some initial problems with batteries we bought a new battery for 466 clamshell ibook and we get somewhere around 4- 4 1/2 hours use with airport. If watching a DVD you get full film plus about an hour. That is running latest version of Panther mind you. Watch out for funny battery problems when updating OS! I reckon it's worth getting a new battery just for the lack of hassle.

However I noticed with the airport card, the battery life is seriously diminished. If I plan on using it without the power cord for any reason for a long time, I'll turn the screen brightness down and turn the sound off. that doesn't seem to make a huge difference, but it makes a little bit of one. It says it will work for like close to 2 hours. Does the battery need replacing or is this average for an older laptop? I noticed it gets down to a certain level with the battery displaying in red and then *boom* it shuts down and goes into sleep mode til I plug it back in. Any solutions or ideas? Should I just get a new battery? Andrea~ Sounds pretty normal to me. Two hours with wireless seems good. Better than I get with my Blueberry! A new battery may help, but I don't think you will get 3 hours from a new battery while wireless. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
