I didnt miss the point. I asked for os x to be made able to run more efficiently on my system. <<Apple, like most computer hardware or software vendors, uses a business process known as planned or controlled obsolescence.>> Thats bad business as far as Im concerned. Not the kind of Apple computer I thought I knew. <<I have a B&W G3/300 with only 384MB RAM, and Panther runs just fine on that. Now, I'm not trying to run Adobe Photoshop on it, but for basic tasks there's nothing wrong with it.>> Uhh, photoshop ran better on my 180MHz powermac 604 with 2MB VRAM and 96mb ram than os x does on my 450mhz g4 with 128mb vram and 896mb ram. I could go on and on with examples but ill stop there. <<Why can't you run OS X on cheaper Macs? As I said, I'm running it on a B&W G3/300 - slower than your machine - and it runs fine.>> we probably have different definitions of fine. for one, os x lacks proper scsi support, and i have had stability issues. And I definitly find its speed to be slow on my machine. Thats all I have to say for now. chris -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
