Clamshell iBook & OS9 in All things Macintosh http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20470154 en Mon, 13 Oct 2008 04:06:16 EDT Mon, 13 Oct 2008 04:06:16 EDT Re: Clamshell iBook & OS9 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20471612 X Man :

Of course If you get it to 512MB you can run OS X on it, pretty well.
Don't misinform the guy. No version of OS X will run "well" on a 366mhz Mac, with 66mhz bus speed, 4200rpm hard disk.
Don't mis-quote me. Go look up "pretty" in a Thesaurus. You'll find that "pretty well", which is what I actually said is far from a glowing endorsement. :uhh:

It does run a bit slow to start up but web browses great and with the airport card on I can get around 7 hours of battery life. I would suggest getting a 256mb stick of ram of ebay or somewhere and seeing how it does then.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20471195 Mon, 12 May 2008 17:20:57 EDT Re: Clamshell iBook & OS9 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20471128 HiVolt :

I upgraded to 128MB and it was a different animal.

So, even if you can only get it up to 128 MB it will help so much. Of course If you get it to 512MB you can run OS X on it, pretty well.

So it's using OS9 right now. I was wondering how I can get the most out of this classic little OS. It has 10gb HD, a 366mhz processor & 64mb ram (for now). I love this thing SO much, but I just have no use for it.. Web browsing is painful and it freezes al ot.. I reinstalled OS 9 last night because a friend had a copy of the OS 9 CD. But I'm still at a loss. The battery is great though, I can get 4 hours out of it. :)

Any suggestions?
