i had a g3/250 upgrade card in a 7500 or 7600 or 8500, another was 350mhz, & they all actually functioned, very well for sound & graphics & internet. didn't do video that much or watch dvds or anything... screw jaguar!
but i can't see 10.2 or barely even 10.0 working on a non-g3. that sounds a little whacko.
xpostfacto is the wonderworker.

I didn't know that 10.anything would work on anything lower than a G3. I had no idea the 604 was ever supported. That's interesting to know.
But I don't think he could really even consider it usable in *ANY* way, shape or form at 120Mhz.
Like I indicated before, 10.2 barely pokes along on my G3/315. I can't even imagine what performance would be like on a 604/120.
