Would there be any problems with installing OS X.0 on my PowerMac 7300/500 (has the G3 500Mhz upgrade card). I already have OS 8.6, and OS 9.1 on separate partitions. Would it be best to install OS X on another partition?
And what about upgrading OS X 10.0 to 10.1.5 on the PM 7300/500? Also, what about RAM? I only have 200MB of RAM at present, which has been just barely sufficient.>> -------------- All the info you need is available in great detail at: http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/ Click on the documentation link. Then check the Apple site for OS X upgrade paths from 10.0 to 10.1.5. You may need to buy 10.1 upgrade CD before you can download the free upgrades to 10.1.5, (don't remember). I did buy 10.03 with the 10.1 upgrade disc from OWC, then used the Apple's free downloads to get to 10.1.5. Currently, OWC has 10.1 full install for $6 http://eshop.macsales.com/Item_MailList.cfm?ID=5440&Item=APLOSX101CD Since you have a G3 installed you could just buy a full install of 10.2 for $29 http://eshop.macsales.com/Item_MailList.cfm?ID=5439&Item=APLOSX102CD and download more recent 10.2 upgrades from the Apple site. Definitely upgrade your RAM. I run 512 MB in the 7300. 128 MB DIMMs for going for $17 from OWC. http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=2423&Item=OWC5MD128MBE Just for the record I am not associated with OWC other than being a customer. Finally, the LEM unsupported list is also a great resource for running OS X on PCI Macs. http://mail.maclaunch.com/lists/UnsupportedOSX/List.html Don't expect great performace but it is a fun experiment --glen -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
