[QUOTE="Badger, post: 57324"] 1) Yes, the system version on the CD is 9.2.1. You can get the 9.2.2 update from the Apple site but it's not a major change. 2) Virtual memory should be on but if you have a lot of RAM set the VM for only 1 meg above the physical RAM installed. 3) I'm not sure if 32 mgs is enough for a basic install of OS 9 but it is inadequate for normal use. You should have at least 64 mg, 9.2.2 on my iMac takes 42 megs. If you plan to upgrade to OS X you will need a minimum of 128 mgs to install it so you may want upgrade the RAM now. 4) The install CD will walk you through the process. It will give you the option of formating the disk. Personally, I would wipe the disk unless there is something that you need to keep and can't be copied/backed-up. [/QUOTE]
