[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1045511, member: 56231"] Mactracker informs us that OS 10.2.8 is the maximum that can be run on a G3 Wallstreet, but quite honestly, you're pushing the lucky barrow to its limit. Firstly, there's insufficient RAM to do anything but stutter along on OS X. Although Apple stipulated 196 as the maximum, that PBk will accept 512, and I'd suggest that as a minimum, even for OS 10.2. The 10 Gb hard drive - Mactracker gives no options for upgrading from the original 2 Gb hard drive, so I wonder if that is the problem. However, OS 9 didn't appear to mind, but then it works better on small (ie. < 80 Gb) drives. [/QUOTE]
