Re: iLife and G3 upgrade for WS
I've installed Panther on my WS II 233 via XPF and it's working fine; currently running Sonnet's G3/500 upgrade with plans to go G4. All of Wegener's Wallstreet upgrades support OS X, and the G3/400 is hard to resist at a cost of $99 + shipping. I'm a firm believer in using a G4 for OS X whenever possible, so I'm holding out until I can scrape together the funds for the Presto! G4/500 -- hoping to bust a move within two weeks. Dont forget Daystar also does the CPU upgrades for Wallstreets. Its not on thier webpages, but they will do it if you ask. The prices were competitive with Wegener (not that I have anything against Wegener). Mad Dog -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

iLife and G3 upgrade for WS
I have an old Wallstreet 233/512 cache. I love it cuz it gives 6 hours of battery life, but it's very slow and too slow for OS X. However I found a fairly inexpensive G3 upgrade (Avanti G3 400MHz) that I would like to install with some more RAM (512MB) and then load OSX. I want to do all this so I can run iLife and after looking at the requirements I need OS 10.3. Will OS 10.3 install on this notebook? Do I need a helper app like Xpost to get it running? I heard 10.3 only installs on USB Macs. If it will not install on this PowerBook then which one will it including iBooks? I know this would be the bare minimum for iLife but that's fine, later on I may get a faster Mac depending on how much I like the applications themselves.

You will indeed need XPostFacto to install 10.3 on a Wallstreet. Try to make sure that this upgrade does support OS X or you could be disappointed. I'm not sure how the iLife package will be on a G3 at 400MHz. Some of the apps in the iLife package require a G4, more specifically Altivec. Again, you don't mention which version of iLife you plan to get, but I would suggest you check Apple's website for minimum requirements before taking the plunge... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I'm with Laurent on this -- rethink your plan to use a G3/400 system for your iLife apps. Especially if you intend to hold onto your WS for a good while longer, you may want to seriously consider the G4/500 upgrade. Even though the G3/400 will provide a nice speed bump and you'll probably be quite happy with it at first, you could wind up kicking yourself for not going for more horsepower Gene Osburn Common sense...isn't -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
