My son will shortly be starting a graphics course at college, where all the pcs are Macs. A friend has a Mac that he has never got on with to sell. However, I do not know what model it is, whether it is powerful enough, etc. etc.
The only spec I have so far is:
Mac OS 9.2 (Mac OS ROM = 9.0.1)
256MB RAM
PowerPC Processor 800Mhz
32GB harddrive (at least – that may have been what space was left)
Machine ID = 406 ???
It has :
A CD-RW drive
56k Modem
At least 1 network card
USB + Firewire
There is also a large flat screen, size unknown.
How would I find out what model it actually is?
Is there a direct comparison between PowerPC speed and Intel CPU speed? Does 800Mhz PPC = 800Mhz Intel?
Also are the memory requirements of a Mac similar to a windows m/c? As 256MB doesn't sound a lot nowadays.
Any advice and guidance gratefully received.
thanks
Ian
