Mac Forum / General / General / October 2008partitioning question
Hello, I have a 1Ghz G4 Quicksilver I am preparing to partition for Leopard. It has a 74.5 gig hard drive, with 896 meg of ram. I am planning on partitioning for 10.4/9.2 for one half of the partition, the other for Leopard. Mainly I am using the 10.4 partition for a few Classic games/apps. Question: what is the minimum space I can give to 10.4/Classic. Obviously, I want to give the bulk of storage to Leopard. Was thinking 60 gig or more. Thanks in advance for any help!

Leopard will be sluggish on that one. I'm not sure about the that. It's still a good machine and I could always max out the ram to 1.5 GB and, I think the processor can be upgraded to 1.8 Ghz. This would run about $400 or less, approximately, as opposed to about $1100 for the lowest end new intel Mac, witht the possible exception of a mini. The requirements for Leopard don't look that much bigger than Tiger, which runs smooth and lightning fast. I'll mainly be using Leopard for a few old Classic programs, so I want to give the lion's share of the partition to Leopard.

Leopard does not support Classic. And a G4 at any speed/RAM combo will be sluggish. Belatedly.... {snip} Leopard does not support Classic. And a G4 at any speed/RAM combo will be sluggish. Not to be rude, but.... What are you basing this on? What makes you think that processor and ram upgrade won't make an OS run faster? I am already convinced it will run quite smoothly. I am well within the system requirements. Hmmm... Perhaps you haven't seen these?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oEAIJte4ZQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZyMxVpgOpU&feature=related My machine is somewhere in between. Certainly it will out perform the 733MHz/512 Ram G4 Powermac shown in the first video. Apparently you can cheat your way around the 867MHz minimum requirement. It seems to be running reasonably well on the Powermac (a little slow, but considering the system's lack of power and ram...) and just fine thank you on the Powerbook. AGAIN, I am well aware that Leopard is not supported, thus my question on PARTITIONING. If you don't know the answer to the actual question at hand, perhaps you shouldn't post a response.

Just don't bitch to me/us when it performs poorly and you discover that you have no Classic. Mr. Strat a écrit: >> My machine is somewhere in between.

The original poster has said in almost every of his post that he will use Classic on on the Tiger partition! The Leopard one is known to him to not support Classic. But it seems you keep saying he won't have Classic anymore (which isn't true, if he boots on Tiger). As for the performances... I can't say for sure. Real world experiences against videos... I'd think the first one is the most reliable. |
