partitioning hard drive, moving memory

Post by guitarsark »

i'm upgrading to dp4. from 3.1 (os9)
what do i need to do about my current computer set-up which is the following:

G4 466 MHz
256 MB memory

currently partitioned as follows:

os9: capacity 1024 mb, avaiable: 502 mb
osX 3.0 GB, available 703 mb
files: 24gb, avaiable 23 gb

i'm guessing i'm going to have to free up some space in my osx partition. is there a way to move memory around between the three partitions? any help greatly appreciated.

thanks

Get a larger Hard Drive (IMO) get an IDE PCI Card and place that drive on it.

Get More memory. Upgrade that thing to 1GB of Ram....

Then it might be useable.
