Hi Everyone,
many of you seem to be quite excited about the new OS from Apple. I admit, it has a lot of great features and advantages compared to the classic version.
Nevertheless, I have the impression that it is quite slow in some aspects. For some applications I still prefer classic MAC OS because they are not useable under X (like Office X)
My Question: Must I have an 1Ghz G4 with 512 MB of RAM to enjoy MAC OS X? Currently, I have an G4/400 with 192 MB of RAM and MAC OS 10.1.2 running. I do not plan to tune it in next time, because Macintosh hardware isn't cheap at all.
It is possible to gain more performance by changing some system configurations?
The (simple) TextEditor (and the Terminal, too) that is included in the OS needs 4 seconds to start up. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance,
Verres
