Re: imac dv upgrade

[tinman]

I'm not sure what the original HD size was on your model, but I will 
say the OSX takes a great deal of space. I have it installed on my 
older iBook (366MHz / 6 GB) and it squeezed on there after I deleted 
non-essential applications & left many of the install options off. It 
is a secondary machine, so it's not a big deal. If this is your main 
machine, I recommend putting in something larger. You also definitely 
need to add as much RAM as you can fit / afford. OSX is RAM hungry like 
you won't believe.

Once that is done, I think you will still find it to be a viable 
machine to run the new OS. FWIW, I think Panther runs smoother on my 
older machine than Jag did.

Good luck.

I have an imac 400 mhz dv graphite, 128 ram. Would it be better to 
upgrade
the internal hard drive or add on a firewire hard drive? Also, I'm

running OS 9 and would like to upgrade to 10. Any suggestions on what
exactly I should do and what I will need?
