i run panther (10.3.8) on a 9600/300. the vital specs are:
450->466/1MB xlr8 upgrade 1GB RAM Radeon PCI R7200
ive crammed so many other cards and devices in there the machine weighs
in at a hefty 40 lbs now
it is very usable, but after working with newer macs and PCs at work, the rift between this computer and newer technology is becoming very apparent. i purchased the 1GHz PL upgrade from OWC, but they are still on backorder :(
So far the biggest obstacle to installing Panther has been the video card.
Do you have any ideas on which ones are most suitable? At one point I was
almost there but couldn't see enough video to click the requisite buttons!
Actually, I'd live with Jagular if Safari wasn't so buggy (or maybe it's
something I said?)
The three best Mac cards for PCI are all ATI:
the newly released 9200 (128MB) the 7000 (32MB) the 7200 (32MB)
ive even had success with a rage128 (16MB) in the past but that card isnt too fast for everyday use. you should also try the video card only in the first or second PCI slot until you get the video working
your video issue sounds strange. what do u mean by you couldnt see enough video?
