[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 180311, member: 8287"] I have an 8500/120 with Sonett G3/400 card installed and 190megs RAM. With XPostFacto I have OSX Jaguar running on it. It's kind of slow but useable for some things like Web and basic stuff, but without a Video Card with Hardware DVD support I doubt DVD's will play. Since I have many other newer Macs, I have not even tried a better video card nor DVD drive. The slower Bus, RAM, old SCSI HDD's all take their toll on the speed of OSX. I just did it to see how well OSX would work on such an old system. I am suprised how well it does work for what it is. It's a credit to OSX and it's dead stable!! Just Slow. If I can help in any way let me know. [/QUOTE]
