Yes, it runs very nicely. <snip> > Any suggestions as to what processor card would work the best > <snip> A minimum of a 300MHz G3. Better to go with 400-500MHz or a G4 if possible. Look for one with at least 1MB backside cache, it makes a difference over 512K. > and how much RAM is needed? OSX lists 128MB as the minimum, you could do that, but don't even try to run classic, 256 is more reasonable and mine gets really happy over 300MB. > Is VRAM necessary? For an 8500, you will need some VRAM, it makes it easier to install if you take out any video cards and install using the onboard. After you have it running, then you can put the video card back in. Trust me on this one. OTH, these machines came with 2MB standard, so one of the carcasses should have some. It sounds like you have a video card, what one? -Robyn -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
