Some iBook questions
« on: July 09, 2010, 08:05:00 AM »
I got my hands on an Apple iBook G3 800mhz with 640mb and running Os x tiger.

Can I run MorphOS on it?

Is it good enough to run 10.5 leopard ?

The battery is giving me hassles too...  On a full charge, after like 15-20 minutes it down to 85% and once it hits 80% the ibook seems to go to sleep and when i plug in the power cord it wakes up again and shows 0% battery.

I did some exploring on my ibook and found out it actually only has 256mb of ram and not 640mb :(

Considering its running stuff like OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2, latest Firefox etc... its pretty fast :)

Would upgrading it to 640mb (change the 128mb dimm to 512mb) make a difference as in youtube video playback, loading etc.. ?

Also, the HD is a 30GB... I have a spare pc laptop 120Gb HD which i never ended up using in my A1200. Would the iBook G3 (Dual USB) accept it ?
