I just got a PCI G4/400 with stock 128 MB RAM and 10 GB hard disk form
the swap list (after some minor delays like waiting for payment to
clear, seller finding out zip is dead, etc...). I started it up and
Panther (10.3.8) runs flawlessly and flies on this machine! It
certainly outperforms my G3 (beige MT) running at 500 and 384 MB RAM
(OS 9.2.2 due to master/slave config for drives - I've heard that X
won't install from a slave drive.). NO MORE OS 9 FOR ME (except for my
iTunes library on my 5500 running 9.0.4). I am excited to see what new
features Tiger has. I will be visiting my "local" Apple Store when it
is released.

None of my current Macs can even boot OS 9. Minimum system any of
them can
boot is 10.3.5. Where does that leave me? Oh yeah, I forgot, I don't
use
Classic......don't even have it on any of my Macs. I'm hoping Classic
support will disappear in Tiger but I doubt it. When I came to the
Mac,
10.1 had just come out and I had heard HORRIBLE things about previous
releases. Running 10.3.8, I can only say that it's gotten BETTER and
BETTER! Running a G4 with a processor faster than 1 gig and
sufficient RAM
(512 minimum) FLIES! And I won't bore you with the performance of our
G5's.
Back when I used a PC, I'd fire up DOS and load 3.1 on occasion just
for
laughs.......I guess you do similar on a daily basis.
