I'm panning to upgrade my Molar from OS 9 to OS X. I've got a number of questions, perhaps some of you have the answers, or at least experienced and wise guesses.
1. I was thinking that this 300MHz Zif wasn't going to handle OS X all that well. I thought about upgrading to G4, say about 500MHz. But a friend of mine freaked out, saying that Molars don't handle G4 very well. Can any of you confirm this? Do any of you run OS X well with a mere G3 300MHz? With a G4 upgrade? 2. I own OS X Panther, not Jaguar. OWC advertises a free program that allows one to stuff Panther onto one of these Beige Molars (ugh - I've never used those two words together before!). Does this install program really work? Or is it still flaky on a Molar? 3. The current IDE drive in this Molar is 4GB. I'd like to get a bigger one, but budget may force me to postpone purchase for about two weeks. I think I can stuff Panther onto 4GB - at least if I remove all the OS 9 stuff to the SCSI drive I've placed in the Zip slot. Do you concur? How easy is it to transfer an installed OS X from the 4GB IDE drive to a new 80GB drive? How does one do this? (OS 9 was easier regarding this kind of thing, eh?) I've more questions, but perhaps I shouldn't drown the list with my ignorance. Not all at once, anyway. tvirkkala -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
