[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 858206, member: 32643"] Moving from OS 9 to OS X is a little tricky. First you have to be at 9.2.2 (last upgrade for OS 9). If needed get it here - [url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186]Mac OS 9.2.2: Document and Software[/url] Then you need to update the firmware. Read about it here. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395?viewlocale=en_US]Mac OS X: Available firmware updates[/url] THEN you can install OS X. The firmware is critical for success. What version of OS X are you trying to install? You need a processor faster than 867 in a G4 to load Leopard (10.5) but Tiger (10.4) will run very nicely. Remember to max the RAM out. [/QUOTE]
