[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 122735, member: 273"] Well, as you stated, 256 MB is really the bare minimum to run OS X. A friend of mine purchased a G5 iMac somewhat recently, and even that machine was a bit sluggish with the standard 256 MB installed. Once it was upgraded to 768 MB, it was a night and day difference. Since this machine isn't terribly powerful to begin with, I'd recommend going with at least 512 MB total of RAM for it. As for deleting OS 9, you really don't want to do that with the machine running Tiger via XPostFacto, because XPF is an OS 9 application. [/QUOTE]
