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.

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.
