G'day all - looking for advice.
I've been lucky enough to score 3 Acer Veriton 5600G's through my local
TAFE ...
These will replace my old 600MHz G3 iMac (the power supply blew),
daughter #1's 450MHz G3 iMac (starting to show 'power issues'), and
daughter #2's 350 MHz PowerMac ... it's going to be a Marry Christmas!
BTW - last year , received funding for a MacBook for my son, and
daughters got new fat nanos, plus bought Leopard - so don't worry -
apple inc.'s still making money from my family!
Plus, as I show OSX to non-mac friends (*nix/winxp/vista) - they are
looking with envy ...
Anyway:
I've successfully installed 10.4.11 on one (P4 2.4Ghz Hyper Thread) -
the only issue is the Intel Integrated graphics is not recognised, so
Core Image & Quartz Extreme is not sup****ted ... games fall over, DVD
playing won't ...
So I'm on the hunt for recommendations - they need to work native (or
close to - don't want to 'hack' too much more), and be relatively
economical.
What's the cheapest option? Best value for $ option?
Your input would be gratefully appreciated.
Merry Christmas, and a Happy 2008!
