[QUOTE="Abemac, post: 66102"] Alright, I feel Apple has left me out in the cold. I bought a Powerbook G3 400mhz 6GB HD 512MB ram OS 9 brand new in Aug.of 2000. Since OSX is out everything about my online experience sucks. There are only 2 choices of browsers- netscape 7.1 or ms explorer 5.1. They both have problems with numerous sites. It seems things are not compatible with these older browsers. So I would like to know if my machine can support OSX well. I realize I will need to upgrade my HD to a faster one. What I've read the 60GB 7200rpm is what I should get. I have enough ram, but I DO NOT want OSX to crawl. I have heard that it would be slow and not worth it, but reading some of these forums I'm hearing it would run OSX "Panther" pretty good. Is this true? And if so, how do I get a 60GB HD and get it installed and where and how much for the HD and Panther OSX. Thanks [/QUOTE]
