Hi,
Just joined after not being able some months ago due to my ISP having many of the Maclaunch lists blacklisted by it's overzealous spamcop filter.
I am going to put a new XLR8 MACH carrier G4 450 into either my 8500 or 9500 (haven't decided yet). Then I want to install OSX 10.2.8 (actually 10.2.3 and then update it to 10.2.8).
Is XPF 2.5.5 my best bet or should I try one of the newer versions?
If I Install on the 9500 with256 MB RAM( I also have an older 64 MB stick I could throw in) it will be on a brand new 18 GB Seagate SCSI drive. Will this be easier/better than installing on the existing 80 GB ATA drive in my 8500?
The 8500 has been real stable with a G3 and OS 9.1 for some time so my inclination is to leave it alone.
Any pointers to make this install go smooth will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
If you are going to use 10.2.x, then use XPF 2.5.y. XPF 3 is still Alpha, and although working better is still sometimes having problems with some setups. I'd spend $40 and get two 128 MB DIMMs (for at total of 512 MB) from Other World Computing which will help with OS X's speed.
