[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 944801, member: 56379"] My first thought is install OS 10.4...so that you would have as modern a setup as possible. But if you have older software that requires OS 9...then installing OS 9.2.2 would be the way to go. But keep in mind, your G4 is a "dual-bootable" computer. So you can install OS 9 & OS X and boot into either OS on startup. Lastly...you could install OS 10.4...and run any OS 9 software in "classic"...an OS X emulation program that allows you to run OS 9 programs while running OS X. But to keep things simple. If you do not have any OS 9 software...then just install OS 10.4. HTH, - Nick p.s. Also be aware that a retail install disk for OS 10.4 will cost you $100+ on eBay...which is probably more than your G4 computer is worth.:( [/QUOTE]
