[Duo2400] Re: OS X on 2400c - success?

[Ralph Mawyer]

Clemens a number of folks, specifically Jake Luck,  have done it on the  
2400, but it's really....really slow. The RAM requirement seemed to be  
the biggest constraint, even with 112MB.

There's a bit of info in the archives, though we never did a write-up  
on the 2400 site summarizing the issues, unfortunately.

I am running OSX on my 2400 G3 400mhz with 80meg of ram. I have

My question is...How much faster is OSX with 112meg than with 80meg?  
Has anyone experienced both?

  uh...a whole lot slower than a TiBook or new iBook, with  
128/256/512/1GB available at much lower cost.

  Yeah, I know, I am being *way* too practical! =)
