Re: Best OS for 233 Mhz imac

[Glenn Schunemann]

Speed of 10.2 on an older G3 is purely perception. I run 10.2 on my G3 
450 at home and my G4 733 at work. When I come home, 10.2 "seems" slow 
cause I've been using it on a much faster Mac all day long. Certainly 
there is some lag on a G3 processor with 10.2, but I believe the 
benefits of OS X in general more than out weight the lag.

I wonder what the difference is? I run 10.2.6 on two 233 beige DT's, 
two 300 MT's, a 233 iMac, a 400DV iMac, two B&W 400's, and a 466se 
iBook; all have upwards of 160megs of ram and all seem acceptably fast 
to me. Granted, I don't use any graphics-intensive apps like Photoshop 
or Illustrator---mostly Mail, Safari, and iTunes---but I'm not sure 
why we're having such different experience. Maybe my idea of 
acceptable is different from yours. I just rarely feel like I'm 
waiting on the computer...now, the ISP connection can be a different 
matter, but that's not the computer's fault...
