jaguar on old iMac?

(1/6) > >>

Stilly:
I have an old iMac with 350mhz g3 and 320 megs of ram. Will Mac OS X 10.2 run very well with it or should I stay with 9.1?

Laukev7:
The slowest Mac I have used with Mac OS 10.2 was a 450 MHz Blue Dalmatian iMac with 382 megs at school. It wasn't fast, but it was decent for simple tasks such as word processing. What you need the most when you run OS X is RAM, lots of RAM.

That would be a disaster. You would age thirty years just trying to put something in the dock. If you have an out of date computer don't expect to be able to use an OS that is not out of date.

That's funny. MS get's all sortsa shit for that.

It's not going to run great, but it wont be as bad as macman said.  I had 10.2 on a 400mhz g3 with 896MB and it was totally usable.  I mean for internet and music and what not you should be fine.  There are also a bunch of haxies to turn shadows and transparency off so it is a little faster.  And now that I think about it my friend has a 300mhz beige g3 with 10.2 and he uses it everyday.  He only uses it for email and music and stuff but it works just fine for him.
