Hi Andy, > I have a 300 MHz, G3 desktop. It has 224 MB of RAM and a 4 GB hard drive I have the some computer at work; it works great.
>0.9 GB available space. This could be a problem, though. If you add a drive, you'll get more bang for the buck with an ATA. >I know I probably need more RAM, but can I get by with 224 MB I have less on mine, 198MB (?); well, it's in that range. It runs a little slow, but not enough to be bothersome. I don't have any heavy duty, memory using apps, though. The computer is mainly used for some web surfing, word processing and printing. >finally, if I am able to install OS X, will the performance be significantly worse >than OS 9? >From what I've read and seen, if you're happy in OS 9 and everything works, don't >change. OS X has some very nice features that make tempting, though. Mail and >Safari are great, though Safari needs some tweaking (well, it's in beta whatdaya >expect?). Your machine probably won't be so slow as to be frustrating, but it >depends on what you use it for. HTH, Jim Sanderson -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
