Hi Germaine I've a G3 466 firewire clamshell which had OS9. It was quite slow so moved up to OSX 10.2 (Jaguar). It was quicker operating but really slow on startup. 10.3 (Panther) is a lot, lot faster on startup. It does have lot more than 196 ram though... If you do move up to Jaguar or Panther don't forget to get rid of localisations that you don't need cos it saved just under 1GB. I used Macaroni.

Should I install OSX on my clamshell graphite G3 366, 192 ram, 6 gigs? It's now running on 9.2. Would OSX slow down every process? Is there enough RAM? Is it worth installing it anyway? The iBook is mostly used for Word, Explorer, Entourage and some light Photoshop use? OSX apps I have are: MS Office and FM Pro 6.
