| 440029 | 2006-03-23 08:41:00 | Yeah, it won't exactly be fast. I installed Mac OS X 10.2 on a Wallstreet PowerBook (I think it was about 266MHz) and it worked ok, but you certainly wouldn't want to use it as your primary computer. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 440030 | 2006-03-24 05:48:00 | Speed isn't really the reason for the change in os, it's just that the kids use osx at school (and i want to play with it) just found out the original imacs may be able to take more ram that i originally realised, although mac ram is not cheap at all |

The fact that it is old ram and hard to get is the reason it is expensive |

The fact that it is old ram and hard to get is the reason it is expensive yeah i know, i just wish everyone used the same style of ram back then as i just looked at an NZ site yesterday $130 for a 128mb stick of the correct ram (almost cheaper to buy another second hand mac with better specs) Thanks for the help all |
