[QUOTE="technologist, post: 40611, member: 4134"] Having both OS 9 and OS X is ideal on an older system, because you can decide for yourself which is best (OS 9 for speed, or OS X for solidity.) You can switch back and forth easily, using the Startup Disk control panel/preference pane. Beyond that, two things: 1. OS X is kind of unusual, because it tends to get [i]faster[/i] with every new release, because of better optmization. So 10.2 would be faster than 10.1, if you can get a copy at a price that is acceptable to you. 2. As stated above, OS X will be a little cramped in only 192MB of RAM. It'll run, but slowly, since it'll have to swap things in and out of memory more often. So, if you can afford to get more memory, do so. [/QUOTE]
