In all seriousness, if someone knows the answer to this, I would love to hear it. I have a similar situation happening right now on my Cube whose processor I upgraded from 400MHz to 1.8GHz, and it's showing up as 0Hz in System Profiler. This is on a 10.5 Server formatted disk, by the way; on the

Re: G4 Mac OS 10.3 to 10.4 or 10.5?

2010-01-15 Thread brettallica
I've got a G4 iBook running 10.5 Server, and it runs OK. The thing is, my G4 is a 1.42GHz, which is a bit heftier than yours. My suggestion is this: if you have the ability to try both, try 10.5 first and see how it runs. If it doesn't work out, you can fall back on 10.4, which is a great OS in my
