So I can compile games for PPC Mac. So I should be looking for a G4 right? I've seen some with only 256Mb RAM and thought this seemed a bit crappy, is it enough to run the OS OK?
I've seen some with OSX 10.3, would that be OK with BMax or should I only get 10.4? Some have 10.5 but does it take more CPU power/RAM to run that OK? I'm a noom about these things so any advie welcome, thx!
Anyone know if such a box would run BMax and games made in BMax at an OK (not stellar) framerate so I can at least test the game behaves normally.
In fact is there anything weird about the PPC I should know (apart from that little/big endian stuff)?
Been looking on ebay for buy it now deals. All seem over £200. Wonder if there are any elsewhere online.
Why mini? Well I could get like an 800Mhz G4 in a minitwer but that would take up a ton of room in my office...mind you I guess I only need to get it out when I finish a game which is not that often...If I got one of these, what speed and RAM will OSX10.4 need to run Bmax.
Thanks all.
