Souped up G3 Wallstreet

2005-03-08 Thread Nima
Hell everyone: I have a G3 Wallstreet (the roadkill) which I have upgraded with a 20 gig HD, a Crescendo WS/G3 550 mghz board, 288 Ram, and have changed the screen from the bogus 12 inch to the decent 14.1... I am running OS 10.1.5... Does anyone think I will have any issues installing 10.2.8?
