What OS's "aside of Linux" Can I run on a G3 Imac 233 Mhz?
« on: November 30, 2003, 03:11:30 AM »
I HATE Linux so don't say it! :)

I hear AROS will support this soon?

How about MorphOS, does that run on it, or how about BeOS?

 Any other OS' you could mention would be great too!

Hmm, well OSX is damn kool...

...for bloatware. But I ran it (the latest version) on my friend's G4 laptop which was about 1Ghz or so, and it was still pretty slow, even with 256Mb RAM. I'd hate to imagine it on a 233 or 300Mhz IMac. :)

So there is NO MorphOS support for the Mac then?!

YOu know, from reading what half you guys are typing about this Zippy OS business, it is REALLY hard to believe any of you ever owned an Amiga.

 So does MorphOS run on IMac?

 Also I was planning on getting a 600Mhz G4 upgrade with Firewire for my Imac, would it be a better machine to do video editing on than my PeeSea?

Every Ati All In Wonder I have ever owned has sucked, has not worked, or just gave bad quality or corrupted videos. I hope the world of the Mac is better for this.

I had the original All In Wonder back when a 500 Mhz AMD was the top thing, and 128 Mb of RAM was a lot.

My most recent atempt was with my Dual 1000Mhz AMD ASUS MObo, 256 Mb of Kingston RAM, ATA 133 Samsung Hard Drive, and a Radeon All In Wonder.

I would encode in 640x480, NTSC and get crap quality, if I would set the Bit Rate too high, it would either stop itself after 20Mins or so, or when it finished, the play back was horrible!!!! I would stick on a frame, and play the sound, then maybe after 5 minutes move to the next frame.

 I even formatted, re-installed XP with fresh drivers and Codecs, same thing.

 Another thing that pisses me off about ATI is they put Macrovision protection on there damn cards so that you CAN NOT back up those old aging VCR tapes, which REALLY makes me mad.

 I wrote ATI support  a few times...


...no repsonce.

So Does MorphOS run on IMacs or what? Everyone seems to be avoiding that question. :)
