Hello,
I'm a Windows dev, and I have to port my Windows program to Mac OS X. I've had no luck with OSx86, on VMware Xcode just won't start and natively no DVD will boot without rebooting.
So I'm considering buying a cheap old Mac computer to use only for porting this program. My requirements are, it must have enough RAM to run both Xcode and the program which takes about 60 MB of RAM, and it must be able to compile Universal binaries. And it must be the cheapest possible!
So what sort of machine would you recommend? What would be good enough? A G3? A G4? What minimum OS X version must it be able to run? How much RAM?
EDIT : Surely something like that should do? APPLEPOWERMAC G4 450MHZ, 512MB,20GB, DVD, ZIP DRIVE - eBay (item 250399807754 end time May-01-09 06:20:20 PDT)
