MouseR Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was given a Dell Optiplex 320 recently, and looked around for about an hour about compatibility issues. I tried using the search function but it's flaky and wouldn't give me ANY results. Is it worth getting a flavor of OSX on this thing? I know it supports the basics like USB keyboard/mouse so it should start from the get go. The machine is pretty basic but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The specs of the machine are as follows: Intel Celeron D @ 3.0Ghz 256MB DDR2 RAM ATi SB600 southbridge Broadcom 400x Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trxDraxon Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'll share with you my experience as I also have a dell that is my test machine. I have a GX280, same hardware except I have a P4 HT. You will most likely need to up the ram a bit, I would try get it up to 512 atleast preferable 1gig. YOu will also have to find a nic card to use as the onboard is broadcom and I could never get it working. I put in a intel pro card in mine and it works great. You should be able to get Tiger up and running, it runs flawlessly on my 280. I would try to get a Jas release of 10.4.9 , think thats what I have.
