10.2 worth it over 10.1? |

Greetings to all. I am currently running 10.1.5 (MOSX) using XPF on a Powerbase 200 system, upgraded to 360mhz (45mhz bus X8) with a Powerlogix G3 400mhz processor. The system is on a 13gb Samsung 5400rpm HD, IDE and Internal, with a 8x NEC SCSI CDRom (internal). 144mb RAM, soon to be 160mb (had a problem with the 32mb stick, resorted to the old 16mb'r) I had no problems booting from 10.1's disk and installing from there. Aside from the sound bug, the system works just fine, it sleeps, resumes, etc, and hasn't crashed for a whole week. I just have to ask.. With the state of XPostFacto, 2.2.4, (not bothering w/2.2.5, as my NVRam is just fine) is Mac OS X 10.2 really worth it? I doubt that I will use QE unless I get a 32mb PCI Radeon, is 10.2 like somehow faster WITHOUT QE on just my basic machine? Or are there any mass problems that I should be aware of- I have SCSI devices, both internal and external.. Will everything basically work just as good as it does in 10.1.5? Any ideas would be great! Thanks! |

10.2 has some general speed improvements, and of course some of Apple's latest apps require it. One issue that some users have reported when upgrading to 10.2 is problems with sound ouput. But this does not affect everyone. |
