Well ours seemed to be faster under 10.2 w/ 256MB RAM and the OE 40 gig 5400RPM HDD. We've got 512MB in it and a 320GB 7200RPM drive in it now. I've gone as far as I feel it's worth, once replaced I'll downgrade to OS 9.2.2 so I can play my old games on it till the screen fails ;)
Really, I think it's slowness is what's causing all the issues with my AppleTV, I get long waits to queue up programs off the eMac and 30% of the time the AppleTV crashes and reboots because of it. -sam > > Sam > > Rubbish. 10.4 runs prefectly well on a G3 nevermind a 700mhz G4. > Admittedly 10.5 would struggle a bit, but max the RAM and it would > be usuable. > > Simon > > --- www.simonroyal.co.uk and www.nmug.org.uk (sent using Nokia E71) > > -original message- > Subject: Re: Which OS X on eMac 700 > From: "Sam Macomber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 06/09/2008 16:32 > > > no 10.5 10.4 is slow enough on it ;) (writing this on an eMac > 700 w/ > OS 10.4) could use a gig of RAM, but not worth it to put any more > money into the machine at this point. wait and get a new one in a > year > or two. > > >> >> I just acquired a eMac 700 to my Mac family and was wondering which >> version of OS X is best for it?
