Picked up some used PowerMacs

[TheMagicM]

I picked up quite a few used Power Mac's (7100, 8100, 8500 w/Sonnet G4 card, PowerMac G3, G3 B&W Mac).  I gave all of them except the G3 B&W to a friend of mine.  The G3 B&W had 9.1 installed so I put 10.2 then updated to 10.2.8 and I'm impressed with this old computer.  I had 1 gig of memory and a 40gig IDE hd laying around so I installed it.    I'm impressed.  I'm going to pick up 10.4 and then see how it runs.  Supposedly 10.3 runs better than 10.2 so maybe 10.4 runs good also?  Anyway if it does I'll look around for a G4 tower assuming its night/day difference between that and my 300mhz G3.

interesting although non amiga topic... if we all started posting on every topic this forum would be flooded with politics, viagra, girlfriend stuff etc ;-)
Mac are cool though.

duh.   Thats why I posted it in the Non Amiga related operating systems forum.

I had a G4 450 and whilst 10.4 ran ok on it i found it sluggish so went back to 10.3.

I also agreee with the 800's and above run 10.4 great.

Gaz

I read on the net that 10.3 was more stable/quicker than 10.2.  Should I just give 10.3 a shot instead?

@espenbo:

thats pretty cool!  your G4 is much more powerful than my G3 though.  I got my stuff for free so I'm not complaining.
