Greetings,
I am a newcomer to the list and a longtime Apple fan. (My first computer was an Apple //c!) I recently was given a lot of PowerMac equipment and was looking for suggestions on the various machines. I have been wanting to find a machine to run OS X (that is decently quick) but I am thinking these machines are probably a tad too old for that. If I am mistaken, by all means let me know! Also, I have considered possibly selling the machines and parts I have to purchase a slightly newer machine (i.e. B&W G3, or early G4). Maybe that is a better option. At any rate, I'd be glad to hear what I can do with these machines, what OS is recommended for them, and so on. Here is what I have:
PowerMac 5400/180 (32MB RAM, Ethernet, all-in-one machine) PowerMac 7200/75 (48MB RAM) PowerMac 7200/120 (Won't power up, no RAM/VRAM installed) PowerMac 7300/200 (160MB RAM) Workgroup Server 8150/110 (~96MB) PM 7600/132 Logic Board and CPU card
I would put the 7600 in the 7200 case and move as much ram as possible into that from the other ones, then I would get a sonnet upgrade and a pci ata card for attaching ide drives.
