I’m still in school. Learning 3ds max, and later on some composeting. Litle bit of webdesign and dtp.
Thinking of geting myself a Apple to start some testing on Unity. (if all go’s well maybe even on a Wii Dev kit) Money is an issue here, (Already got a hefty system)so are these recommended specs for Unity, G3 500Mhz, OSX 10.3.9 doable? or will it take the fun away.
Hey, Remy. At this point, it’s hard to find a mac that doesn’t meet the recommended specifications. Any new mac bought nowadays is several generations beyond the required specs, and comes with the latest version of the OS. New macs start as low as $599 US (sans monitor).
I would stay away from G3 if possible, as well as the Intel GMA 950 graphics card. Probably the best deal for cheap would be a used G4 tower or G5 imac.
Welcome aboard Remy, and while your machine meets the requirements please remember those are the minimum specs required, as such your authoring experience will be at a minimum quality that’s acceptable. You would do well to follow the advice above and look to get something with a bit more power if possible as it will allow you to work better and with less hassle.
