Hello all,
I was considering to buy MACOS X PB (public beta) when i thaught will it run on my iMac 350,64meg ram,7gig HD?
Can anyone help??
Thanks
 
Yeah, I don't see why not. the installer is extremely painless, kudos to Apple for greatly simplifying the installation process ! (Anyone who's tried Darwin, or Server, or even the Developers Preview knows what I'm talking about)
It should work perfectly for you, but don't forget to come back and tell us all what you like/dislike about it!!!
Have fun!
 
Yes, it will work on your system, just it might be a little sluggish since you only have 64MB RAM and Apple recommends 128MB. I'm running it with only 96MB and it runs ok.

 
I have the beta installed on my iMac 350 with 196mg RAM and it runs as slow as my SoftWindows applications (about half the speed of the native software). I have also installed the beta on my wife's iMac 350 with only 64mg RAM and it runs the same. No speed decrease, no difference. Apple recommends at least 128mg RAM, but the fact is, it runs slow and jittery no matter what.

I also have seen no difference in speed or performance whether the beta is installed over OS 9, by itself, on a separate partition, on the main partition, using the HFS+ file structure, or using the UNIX file structure. It's just slow.
