    I used to run 10.1.5 on one with 192 MB of ram (it had 400 MHz) and I thought it was a bit painful. Jaguar must be a lot better. And of course, the more RAM you have the better it surely will be. I'd say give it a try.

    Have you run any type of OS X on that machine?



    There is a problem with some Lombards that makes OS X very unstable on them. Just a warning. Jaguar should run decently if you got one of the machines that were spared the hardware bug.

    I have Jag running on a G3 266 Powerbook, the Wallstreet model. I used to have 128 megs of RAM, but added some to bring it up to 192. Much much better. I can't complain none.

    According to the grape wine your Powerbook should get a boost with 10.2.4

    That would be awesome. Any improvement is a bonus. And what gravevine did you read to get this little tidbit?

    Could someone explain which version of powerbook, some of these names refer to. i.e. Lombard...Wallstreet?
