I am running OS X 10.1.5 on a 9600, and this is what you will need to run 10.2 and Quartz Extreme:
- At least another 256 MB of ram - a CPU upgrade card, the max you can get is a G4 500mhz <I think!> - A new video card, *pci* that supports Quartz Extreme - You can install osx onto a 4gb hd. But you will very quickly run out of space. Some mp3's and pictures... - you also mentioned you need usb and firewire... more costs. - copy of Jaguar It's probably cheaper in the end to buy a new mac. And you skip the hassles of getting it all to work 'just so'. If you are going to do any video *get a new machine*. cheers, dAVE At 12:05 PM +0200 9/17/02, Jean-Marc Melchior wrote: >Hello List, >I'm a PC User, but I want to switch to the Macintosh Platform, in >the beginning I wanted to buy a brand new G4 iMac, but now as >searching the classifieds, I found an excellent offer, or thats what >I think it is: > >It's a Mac 9600 >128 Mb Ram >4 Gb Stock HD and an additional SCSI HD with unknown size >Stock 15' Monitor >modem ISDN Sagem, which fits me, as I only have ISDN in my workplace >Apple Laser printer 300 >hub Ethernet 12 port >Price: 590 $ > >1) Is it a fair price? >2) What upgrades do I need to run Jaguar? >3) Upgrades to run Jaguar with Quartz Extreme? >4) Until now I always worked on a cheap 17" Monitor, do myou think >the 15" would be acceptable >5) Running OS 9 or even 8 would I be able to run the iApplications, >which are one of the reasons for swichting to the Mac.
