Operating Systems > macOS
switch suggestions
cdhgold:
I have never used a Mac but after reading more about it in these forums and being pissed off at microshit I would like to give OSX a try. i do not have funds available to buy new mac. Can anyone suggest another cheaper way to try OSX other than buying new system.

well. "here" is not osX, so i do not see how it would do any good. ebay is a good bet though. i got a good deal on an ibook last november on ebay.
huhm.. i am now trying to get rid of that very iBook.....(i do not use it as much as i would like)

From Apples website-
Apples System Requirements
quote:
1. Confirm that your hardware can run Mac OS X Version 10.2 Jaguar
Mac OS X Version 10.2 requires a Power Mac G3, G4, G4 Cube; iMac; PowerBook G3, G4; iBook; or eMac computer; at least 128MB of physical RAM and a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card. Mac OS X does not support the original PowerBook G3 or processor upgrade cards. Verify your hardware is supported from the list below.
2. Verify you have enough hard drive space.
While the amount of disk space required depends on your computer and the way you are installing Mac OS X, you are recommended to have at least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive.

i would suggest more memory, because more is always better. i ran jaguar on an old g3 iBook (300mhz) with 196 mb ram, and it ran fine. not super great, but there were no real complaints.
