Now I'm even more confused?? Steve Tiger runs quite nicely on G3s. I would recommend 512Mb RAM as a minimum. Generally speaking Tiger will be faster than Panther. has anyone mentioned a good video card being necessary? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: OSX10.4 on G3
Thanks for the feedback, before I do anything I think I need to run the Disk Utility, - could someone let me know where I can find it?to find any probs with the System on HD ? Then I need to run Archive and Install from the Installation disk?

I have a few old clamshells and my 466 runs faster then my 366 running Jaguar, I get the spinning color disc too on the 366 more then the 466... When I went from 10.1 to 10.2.8 that slowed both machines down a lot... I bought a 366 off ebay and it had Panther in it and that was just way too slow for me even running 576mb so I did a clean and reinstall with Jaguar... Rich Tiger runs just fine, even at 300 MHz. The SPOD mostly comes from apps needing resources, such as waiting for disk i/o, paging memory, or network data. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
