MUST BE SO SLOW.

How did you do that
-
@jimjamyahauk id say mac and linux is better, windows is crap with its pointless bluescreens and prone to viruses
-
@SuperGoldfish1999 I don't think so...
Macs are faster than windows PCs by a lot.
plus, intel macs can run windows so why would you get a pc besides the fact that it's cheaper?

@jimjamyahauk OK, thanks I'll try it.

@SuperGoldfish1999.. Grow up. No system is perfect and no system is 'the best'.

@familyguy9877 I got them mainly via ebay or through donations from other people. There are still some floating around ebay

Is it possible to run 10.5 on a beige G3 with a 500MHz CPU upgrade, or does the upgrade need to be more than 867MHz (the minimum requirement for 10.5 leopard)?

@TommyA1912 . Hi, any g4 will work... if you use another mac to install it then the cpu speed doesn't matter, as it's only the installer that checks this.

Sorry bud but this isn't a G3 Mac.
You've done the equivalent of brain surgery, and changed it to a G4 Mac. If you could get 10.5 to run on an actual G3 with no mods, then I'd be impressed.

Agreed - in the description of the video it does mention this. However, it wasn't as simple as just upgrading the CPU to a G4 - as the motherboard and rest of the hardware was still G3-era, and not G4.
