[QUOTE="ZeziChan, post: 1139098, member: 176429"] I've recently purchased a iBook clamshell 300 MHz PowerPC Processor, 512kb L2 backside cache, 160 MB RAM, 6 Gig Hard Drive and 6MB of VRAM. It is currently still running OS 9.x, stunningly well. However, being a OS X fan, I was wondering if it is possible to run OSX 10.3.x efficiently on the iBook. I'm aware it will be dragged down by the lack of VRAM, however this machine is for display and basic text editing purposes and some OS 9 games only, so minor lag is acceptable. So, my main question is: Is it possible to run OSX 10.3.x on an iBook G3, if not, is it possible to get a stripped down version of OSX that requires less VRAM/whatever is the problem? I'm quite happy to max out the machine if needed, I'm a sucker for the design of it, so will take any measure to bring it as close to functional with my 15" MBP i5. Also, does anyone know of anyone who has replaced the internals with intel components? Also, if it is possible to purchase the stuff for this?. Sorry for the essay of questions, but I was 4 when the computer was new, so I'm not familiar with PPC models bar my iMac G3 and quad G5. Thank you! :D [/QUOTE]
