 G4/400MHz OSX? I've been working for a very poor theatre company (the last 2 months). I was delighted to see Macs in use but then horrified at how poorly kept the systems are. So, I've had nothing but trouble since I started. My office seems to be the land where old computers go to die. I have piled up on my desk 3 computers that just don't seem to be working. Well, the oldest (PowerPC G3/233MHz) is working best, so not quite  Here are my questions about my 3 messed up kids: 1) the newest computer is a PowerPC G4/400MHz. Do you think it can handle OSX (Jaguar)? or would I be better off going with OS 9.1? I'm going to do a clean install in either case. 2) the middle is an imac G3/350. Its ethernet socket doesn't seem to be working. I can't get a consistent connection. Is this a common problem or has anyone ever heard of this happening? 3) how do I keep myself from going crazy? Thanks in advance  |

| About your 2nd question: does "can't get a consistent connection" mean you get a instable connection or no connection at all? Plug them and define certain ip-Adresses to certain macs and see, if you can ping the machines. Hope you are familiar with this step, otherwise I will tell in more detail. Just let me know. 3rd question: keep on posting your probs here. That should stop you going crazy

| I'm currently on a 400 MHz B&W G3 with 448 MB of RAM and a 40 GB HD that works fine... with Panther.

| I have a G4 400MHz (Yikes! model) with 768MB of RAM. After using my Powerbook (1.25GHz) the interface speed on the G4 is, well, crappy to put it plainly.

It depends on the use of the G4. I tried working with iMovie on my G4 400Mhz, not good. General webpage development on the other hand is fine. Quote:
