[QUOTE="lokerd, post: 10144"] Hello. Thanks for the reply. We got 5 new eMac computers. I have them currently booting in OS9, but they do not behave correctly, I think due to the fact that OS10 is expected. Some of the software will not run, such as MS Office documents. When we click on a file...it tries launching Office X, even though Office 2001 is on the computer. Se we have to open Office 2001 first, then try to open the file. I also want the students to be able to use some of the 10 specific media applications. While I could leave the OS10 computers as OS10 stations, and leave the rest as OS 9, then it would be frustrating trying to teach to two different systems. Actually, I guess the main reason is that I had a collegue tell me we needed to put all the machines at OS10, and then a local Apple Dealer tell me that the iMacs would run OS 10 just fine with 160mb of ram. That dealer also told me that 256 was the max ram. She said. "OS X runs fine with 160mb...". Now I am not so sure. [/QUOTE]
