My Beige is a G3 @ 367MHz and 266 MB running 10.3.9 fine. I'm only
using it for the "usual" things, word processing, internet browsing,
etc. No video challenges. You have twice what I have for video and,
of course, a much faster processor. However, I recall some saying
that the limiting factor with our Beige is the bus speed, 66 MHz.
Going to Tiger may not be worth it, but Panther is fine.

I have a G4/525 that started life as a Beige G3/266. Because of this,
I can't load more than 10.2.8 without XPostFacto.
I am wondering: is 10.3.x or 10.4.x any faster than 10.2.8? Would it
be worth my time to upgrade or should I stick with 10.2.8? I am
perfectly happy with the stability and feature set in 10.2.8, but I'm
always looking for more speed despite the fact that 10.2.8 cruises
along fine on the G4. 9.2.2 is still faster though.
What would you folks recommend? Panther or Tiger? Or stick with
Jaguar? If the speed of either of the newer versions is significantly
better, I would consider spending the money to upgrade. But I have
heard XpostFacto can be more trouble than it's worth.
Here's my setup:
PowerPC G4/525 (started life as Beige G3/266) Desktop
Radeon 7000 32MB video card
60 gigabyte hard drive & 4 gigabyte hard drive
PCI USB card
Pioneer DVR-110 DVD-R/CD-R burner
Thanks,
Nat
