Jan 20, 2010 12:43 PM in response to desperadaby Texas Mac Man,I have Tiger running on my Pismo 400MHz with 768MB RAM. Runs great, however due to the hardware limitations of computers of that era, graphics run a bit slow. Tiger is better than Panther because you can run more recent versions of browers, flash & other apps.
I have OS 9 on the same HD (no partition) as Tiger. I can boot to Tiger or OS 9.x, and operate in classic mode when booted in OS X. However, OS 9 on a separate partition would probably be better.
The hardware design of that era is better suited for OS 9, and OS 9 runs faster.
Cheers, Tom

Jan 21, 2010 3:24 AM in response to Texas Mac Manby desperada,Does that mean watching a DVD would not be possible? Or better on the partition with OS9? Would Panther run faster than Tiger? I am currently using Panther on my iMac G3 and I like it. I use Camino as a browser. I have got Internet connection via smart phone as a modem, moderately fast, (edge with onspeed), for instance to watch youtube needs a lot of patience. -
Jan 21, 2010 6:17 AM in response to desperadaby Texas Mac Man,Tiger will run faster than Panther with most applications. OS X has a much larger set of system files compared to OS 9, and most OS 9 application files are smaller than OS X application files. Applications like Word will usually run faster when booted into OS 9, however, the OS 9 version of Word will not have as many features as the OS X version.
You can watch DVDs when booted in OS 9 or OS X.
