hard drive recommendations

Dear Scotty,
Adobe won’t install. Do I buy new or upgrade what I have?
My Mac is white and square. OSX 10.3.9
Processor 1.25GHz Power PC G4
Memory 256 MB
Thanks for your help.
Being a 1.25ghz you could put leopard 10.5 onto it but it's not going to run very well. However, to do so, you'd need to add more ram to it. Leopard requires at least 512 and you only have 265. That would probably hold about 1 gig maximum of ram which would cost around $50. I'm guessing you have an eMac.
The best solution would be to aquire a copy of Tiger 10.4 and install that along with more ram. That could hold you for another year or so. But it will be time very soon to consider moving up to a newer machine.
