Point 9: 30 GB hard disk never has less than 6 GB of contiguous free space - this assures that the OSX system has all of the elbow room that it might need to expand/contract temporary caches or other system/non-user file types, and the hard disk is reduced in the amount of thrashing it would otherwise experience in trying to locate small bits of free space here and there, where it can write/read tiny fragments of files.īottom Line: On this machine, Jaguar was stable and useful, Panther was stable and useful, and noticeably faster than Jaguar, and, so far, Tiger is stable and useful and a bit snappier than Panther.

Point 8: Always run “fix disk permissions” BEFORE any software install or upgrade, and directly AFTERWARD, also.

Point 7: Few to no third party haxies or other system hacks are installed. Caches are rotated/checked/flushed on a regular basis, as appropriate. Point 6: Since the machine runs 24/7, sleeping infrequently, automatic Apple system maintenance routines are able to run as scheduled. Point 5: I run Disk Warrior once every couple of months - boot from the Disk Warrior CD. This laptop (12' screen, 1.2 GHz PowerPC G4, 768 MB DDR SDRAM, upgradable to 1.2 GB) is a couple years old (purchased in 2005), and, obvioiusly, uses the old PowerPC processor. I have never had to scrape the drive clean to gain a successful OS install on this machine. When Apple came out with Leopard (10.5), I took the plunge and bought Tiger (10.4.x), and now my iBook is running on 10.4.11, and I've experienced no problems whatsoever. Previously, when I upgraded to Panther, I was installed as an upgrade over top of the pre-existing Jaguar 10.2.8 OS. Point 4: Tiger was installed as an upgrade over top of the pre-existing Panther 10.3.9 OS. Point 3: Although there are some glitches/minor annoying bugs that present themselves from time to time, none of them have prevented me from being able to perform a necessary computer task. Point 2: Tiger is a bit faster overall than Panther. Point 1: Tiger is as stable as Panther, running 24/7 since I installed it over a week ago on my iBook G3 800 MHz 640 MB RAM.
