What model have you got there? Running Panther or Tiger? I suppose it can do pretty much everything you can do in Windows XP, well except gaming.

Sorry to break it to you but you won't be able to enjoy Panther/Tiger on that machine man. Give it to Eithanius! smile.gif

Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar (This was when I fell in love with Apple, Rendezvous anyone?)
Mac OS X 10.3 Panther (Big leap from Jaguar, introduced Fast User Switching and Expose, among other things.)
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (Current version, introduced Spotlight, Dashboard, among other great features.)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (On its way baby!)

By the way your best bet is to run Jaguar on that machine, don't even think about Panther or Tiger, unless you're willing to wait 5 minutes for iTunes to launch.

Just my 2 cents.

well actually, we run Panther on it just fine... just that you need a nice fast hard disk, and lots of RAM.

for OS X 10.3 Panther, anything above 256 will be great.
for OS X 10.4 Tiger, I recommend 512 and above.

Obviously everyone's tolerance level is different, I find Panther almost unusable on a 800MHz G3 iBook with 640MB of memory, let alone running on a piece of hardware from last century.
