Re: OSX on older macs

[macotaku]

I have installed OSX on many many boxes (working in IT) and have found 
that 233mhz is the minimum if you want to use the gui, you can install 
it on slower machines if you are going to use it as a webserver, 
mailserver or ftp site.

Things you can do to speed up OSX on a slow machine:
- get as much memory as you can get your hands on
- get a faster harddrive as there is more to load and more often
- get a graphics card with a minimum of 32mb of memory
- Switch to scale to dock instead of suck
- switch window shadows off, there is a hack for this
This was I got a very decent performance out of my 233 bondi blue.
