Alright so here the thing I wanted to convert to Mac for a really long time but never had enough money. I finally got an old power mac g3 400mhz with 256mb ram (and Im fine with it being slow) to start learning the new system. But it doesnt have an operating system and its only got a cd-rom, and I am not sure what to do, I need your guys help. I cant buy tiger cause its in dvd format (plus its like way more then I paid for the machine and it will run slow). I cant burn tiger cause its in .dmg and stupid dmg2iso is giving me an error, I am watching a copy of panther on eBay (sitting at $65.00 CND including shipping), but it wont end for 5 days and I also want to buy ram and a new drive so I was hoping one of you guys would have a better plan, os wise. Do you?
Also, I want to buy ram, and I just wanted to check if what I need is any generic p133, 168 pin ram chip? If so, Ive seen a range price wise, so in CND what do you think is a fair price? Where a good place to get some?
Last is there anyway I can upgrade the drive? If so what the cost and what type of drive do I need? Where can I get it done, or get the parts (Im in Edmonton, Canada)?
Thanks
