    i would like to know if you have to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1 then 8.2 and
    so on or can you jump from 8.1 to 9.1 or X ?
    If you have a complete 9.1 installer, it is not necessary to install all previous versions before.

    and can you go backwards from 8.1 to 7.1 ?

    Yes, but it's not easy. Why should you want to do this?

    some people say that running os7 is faster than running os9.1
    so i wanted to give it a try
    but i guess your right
    thanks for the reply and sorry about the last email


    I wouldn't recommend OS7. OS9 is at least still widely supported while
    OS7 is historic. Of course OS7 is faster but certainly not
    better.....it's the same as using a P4 to run windows 3.1 :-/

    Anyways, for your machine I'd recommend OS9. You won't be dissapointed
    when you buy a G5 and start using OSX. If you do purchase a G5 make
    sure you get 10.3 with it (Panther). I heard that for the first while
    Jaguar might still be preloaded no them (which is 10.2).
