System requirements

What is the reasoning behind uping the system requirements for programs if they run on a lower version.netscape 4, I believe requires 7.5 or 7.6 as stated by netscape so if it runs on a lower OS why would they not lower the system requirements?Are they running as smooth as the stated requirements?

Re: MacOS for Performa 475

I still challenge anyone on this list to name an example of a productivity application that requires 8.1 that does not also require a PPC. Apple System Profiler doesn't count, especially when you can get the same information in much more detail from TattleTech or TechTool. Does Resource Tweezer

Re: MacOS for Performa 475

Well I guess you really missed the original question what is the highest OS to run on a 475. Answer 8.1 fast maybe not, does it work yes, Apple seems to think it does along with a million others.Would 7.1 be faster yes but that wasn't the question, sometimes it helps to listen or read the questio

Re: MacOS for Performa 475

Well these are articles from the LEM wes site so are you saying their opions don't count? Seriously consider upgrading to Mac OS 8.1 once you have 20 MB or more memory (the 475 has 4 MB on the motherboard, so a 16 MB upgrade gives you 20 MB total). Mac OS 8.1 includes updated Open Transport driv

Re: MacOS for Performa 475

Lately I see this question pop up, and yes a lower version of OS might be faster but you have to remember what software is available for 7.1, not a lot. Not to say that 8.1 which can run on a 475 will be as fast as 7.1 or 7.5.3 or whatever but take in mind what you will be using it for and check t
