Hi

I have a g3 500 mhz

Will a g4 1ghz make a huge diff in the mac world?

a G4 runs about 500 bux here so I wonder if it is worth the upgrade.

And I have 10.2 panther

I have 384 meg memmory

How do I do updates to the os?

Can I run tiger?



Thanks.

That's a pretty old machine - not sure that I would invest that kind of money into it. For $500, you could probably buy a newer machine.

Would you invest $500 to repair a 10 year old car? I know I wouldn't...

Here's a site that specializes in updates to older versions of OS X:

Can I run tiger?

Yes, I believe so.

Any one have a copy?

Thanks.
