wingk1314 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i know that TECHNICALLY.. 500mhz should be fine since I've heard of others installing it on a G3. But the thing is, my first mac was a 1.33Ghz G4 ibook.. so i kinda don't have a clue as to how sluggish the performance will be on slow computers.. I'd like to know if anyone here has bothered to install OSx86 on an old computer? anything from ..lets say a 400mhz-800mhz range CPU? Thanks.

wingk1314 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 well the CPU actually does have sse2 it's an AMD Geode ... how about a G3 then? has anyone installed tiger on a G3 around the 500Mhz range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernalzero Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 you should also check out some to the appleTV OS stuff too because it is only SSE2 and it was designed for a less powerful processor than OSX tiger. you never know what you could get working until you give it a shot, if you've got a spare laptop hd start playing around and post results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom's G3 600Mhz iMac snow runs both Panther and Tiger. Although I must say Panther is more usable. She has around 512Mb of memory in her system.
