[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 424648, member: 26695"] You need a copy of panther and install it. If the clamshell has firewire, why not upgrade to tiger? You need to upgrade the RAM, the most you can get within your budget is best. Possibly a new HD, a 7200RPM drive will make the whole computer function faster. I had a clamshell, 466MHz I believe, and ran Panther fine with 256MB RAM and an 60GB 7200RPM HD. It skips alot when watching movies though. 466MHz was a little slow for watch full screen movies. Discs are model specific, so you can't use the G5 iMac discs. You will need a retail copy of 10.3. Hope you get out it what you want. Bryan [/QUOTE]
