Mac Os X
Do we have any Mac Specialist in the house?
If so..maybe someone can answer this quesiton for me. We have been trying to install MAC OS X on our test machine at the office here and well its been installing for about 48 hours now and it just sits there...now if you listen to the drive you can hear it chisseling away however its not really doing anything. Its currently sitting in the GUI and the cursor is a spinning CD. I was wondering..our Test Machine has the following specs G3 300 32MB RAM 8GB HDD And well that is all the information I can remember about it. Now, we don't meet the requirements for the RAM that is foresure because acording to the box it needs 128MB and well we got 1/4 of that. Could that be our problem? |

Definitly up that RAM as soon as possible as os X will not run well at all on that. If at all.

Streams is correct and G3's run on standard SDRAM you can get from Crucial. RAM's cheap, so get a bunch. Also, good choice on the OS. OS X is rock solid, arguably even more so than NT.

Thats probably why you dont quite have enough RAM, Personaly I would go with Mac OS 9.1 because there are still a couple issues that needs to be worked out on Mac OS X. Also be sure and use Apple software (probably on the OS CD) to setup the hdd before you install the OS and not any 3rd party software. If you feel it's been to long (I think 2 days is to long) then restart it and see what happens or what message it gives you.
