You will indeed need XPostFacto to install 10.3 on a Wallstreet. Try to make sure that this upgrade does support OS X or you could be disappointed. I'm not sure how the iLife package will be on a G3 at 400MHz. Some of the apps in the iLife package require a G4, more specifically Altivec. Again, you don't mention which version of iLife you plan to get, but I would suggest you check Apple's website for minimum requirements before taking the plunge... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
