[QUOTE="frail, post: 122733"] The CD is tray loading so I imagine it's the 333 as it was advertised in the auction that I won. The description said that Tiger and OS 9.2 were loaded and the seller told me that Tiger was running fine. From other research I've done I was under the impression that Tiger could be installed using XPostFacto which I assumed the seller did if he's telling the truth. The hard drive must've been upgraded because I've seen from lowendmac.com that it comes standard with a 6gb hard drive. I was told that upgrading the RAM to meet Tiger's minimum spec of 256 should make it run okay. But I read something about one of the RAM slots being smaller than the other, which if that's the case I may have jumped the gun because I already bought the extra 128MB from macsales.com. Assuming that everything is as stated in the auction, how would Tiger run with the added 128MB? Also, can I easily remove OS 9.2? I read something elsewhere about just deleting its folder. Thanks. Edit: Here's the auction- [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5208179157&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1[/url] [/QUOTE]
