#FXFACTORY FOR SNOW LEOPARD MAC OS#
In this column I will outline what Mac OS versions are supported by which PowerBook and iBook models back as far as the 680×0-based 190 and 500 series and offer my suggestions as to which I think is the ideal OS for each model. For instance, OS 9.1 is supported by the PowerBook 5300 and Duo 2300, but you won't be very happy with the performance on these 100 MHz and 117 MHz PowerPC 603e computers – or, for that matter, on the 117 MHz PowerBook 1400. The newest officially supported system is often not the ideal one to use. But is it a wise idea? Not always, in my estimation. It seems that a lot of people with older Macs are interested in installing OS 9.2.2, and again, there is an installer hack available (OS 9 Helper) that help them to do so. On the Classic Mac OS side, there is Mac OS 9.2.2, which only officially supports the same machines that OS X does.

If you're really determined, you can probably get OS X to install on a Kanga using Ryan Rempel's XPostFacto installer hack for some unsupported Macs, but is it worth the trouble on a Mac limited to 160 MB of RAM? I'm doubtful. For example, PowerBooks prior to the G3 Series WallStreet, which was introduced in May 1998, are not supported by OS X, which means that the original 250 MHz PowerBook G3 (3500/Kanga) has the dubious distinction of being the only G3 model Apple ever made that isn't supported by OS X. The appropriate system to use depends on variables like the speed of your machine, how much RAM you have, what you use the computer for, and how much performance (speed again) you're willing to trade off in order to have the latest bells and whistles.
There is no all-purpose boilerplate answer. Questions I get asked fairly frequently are variations on the general theme of upgrading the operating systems of older Macs to more recent system versions. It's a really nice machine and very clean. Found it at the thrift shop for $14.75 couldn't just leave it there.Do I need to buy a newer version of OS X. It recognizes other discs so I am not sure what the problem is.

I have the original Mac OS X Install Disc, but my iBook doesn't recognize the disc, it just keeps ejecting it.
'When it rains it pours' Well, it's definitely pouring. After you install 10.5.4 you can either wait for the update list to appear or you can select update from the Apple dropdown in the upper left corner of your screen.
