Thanks, all, for that.

Another question: Would I be happier if, prior to upgrading to Panther, I stuck a G4 in it first? (has a Sonnet G3)

And:

Since I can't upgrade the bus speed, would a faster G4 (ie 700 or 800) really make that much of a difference over my G3/500?

And: Is G4 the difference between being able to use Quartz Extreme, or is it the video card? Or both? Or neither?

The guy at the Mac Store said Panther won't go on any machine that doesn't have built-in USB.

Is this true? And... if it's true, is there anyone yet who makes a pre-install program that will go around that limitation, just like the people who make programs that you can use to make Old World Macs run Jaguar?





No , it is not true. Actually it is just that Apple does not SUPPORT Panther on a Beige. I have two of them that are running Panther just fine that are set up similar to yours. All you need is a helper app called XPostFacto .
