| Got a Sawtooth for free! |
Posted by: quantumii on 2011-01-28 06:13:11
My cousin, who works in the graphics design business, gave me a nice Sawtooth a few days ago.
It has 768 MB RAM, a 30 GB HDD, 2 graphics cards (1 AGP and 1 PCI) as well as a ZIP drive.
I've just installed 10.4 on it, and it runs great! I may Xpostfacto leopard into a 2nd partition just for fun, but I think it will be a bit slow.
I also just scored a PowerMac 6100 (see own thread)

They are nice looking machines. I got mine for a little over shipping and I am waiting for a dual processor capable motherboard to arrive in the mail to use a dual G4-500 CPU. The G4's from the Sawtooth up to the Quicksilvers are very nice looking and functional machines.

Nice, I'm hoping to get a sawtooth soon, as I have never had a G4 system.

fyi, xpostfacto will not work w/ leopard (last i heard). i used a open firmware "hack" to make it think it had a fast enough processor, and everything installed just fine. google to find the hack, it is pressty easy, even if you have little experience.

What would be the point of running a very CPU/GPU intensive OS on such an old machine? OSX 10.3/10.4 or even OS 9.2.2 would be a better choice.

Yes, I know about the OF hack, as I have done it before on the iMac Lamp 🙂 Maybe I will try it, but as you said, it is a bit too CPU/GPU intensive for this machine.
