Re: Which OS X on eMac 700
Well ours seemed to be faster under 10.2 w/ 256MB RAM and the OE 40 gig 5400RPM HDD. We've got 512MB in it and a 320GB 7200RPM drive in it now. I've gone as far as I feel it's worth, once replaced I'll downgrade to OS 9.2.2 so I can play my old games on it till the screen fails ;) Really, I think it's slowness is what's causing all the issues with my AppleTV, I get long waits to queue up programs off the eMac and 30% of the time the AppleTV crashes and reboots because of it. -sam Sam Rubbish. 10.4 runs prefectly well on a G3 nevermind a 700mhz G4. Admittedly 10.5 would struggle a bit, but max the RAM and it would be usuable.

Re: Which OS X on eMac 700
I have one I run on 10.3.9 and it works fine- just noticeably slower than the june 05 dual g5 running 10.4. no portable dvd player to load from also slowed me down too. The 10.3.9 was the last I've found only on CD's.
