I have a 1997 Dell with 512mb of memory on it that until I replaced it with a laptop a year ago ran XP Then again, I tend to stay away from malicious software… just like I tend to stay away from untrusted repositories for Linux. I never had to use one of these software on my personal WinXP installations. With the antivirus, antispyware and firewall software enabled? I’m not using any of these in Linux and OSX.

Why would I run 10.2 if 10.3 is faster?īecause you have to pay for the upgrade? Isn’t why people are upset at Microsoft right now? Win98 was the last OS from Microsoft that could run any stuff I had on DOS.Ĭan you run System 7 applications on OS X? MS-DOS is pretty old, you know.īecause the most recent versions of OSX are actually faster on legacy hardware. I’m not talking about Win98 apps, I’m talking about DOS apps. I have a Centrino 1.7GHz and I have noticeable delays for _everything_…

They are quite nice to work on.Ĭan’t speak for OS X, but you must be a patient man to use Ubuntu on a 100MHz computer. I have a imac8,1-mac os x 10.5.8, 2.4 HGz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 800 MHz ddr2 sdram-well, first of all this has been the best Computer I have ever owned! I downloaded a cam video using 'Vuze' several months ago, and thats were my problems have started! its been getting worst, and now I cant even use it! freezes all the time, spinning circle everytime I try to do anything or just touch my mouse & slow!! anytime I plug an external hard drive in, it states its been corrupt! FYI- Vuze has been a great program for me, but I got greedy & stupid, and downloaded some cam movies! ive used the program since 2008!-heres the info on my original mac i wrote about-ibook G4, 10.4.11, 1.33 GHz powerpc G4, 1GB DDR SDRAM, powerbook 6,7-at this point, Im not going to update the powerbook with 10.5, as it would be cheaper to get a newer(used)labtop! is it easy to download an earlier version of itunes for it?.Come on! I can use Ubuntu on a 100Mhz computer and I can use OSX on a 233Mhz computer.
