Is it possible to upgrade the IE 5 browser in OS 9.1?

How we doin Gang?
Got a lot of help here recently
Ya know I'm sure other folks have asked about upgrading their IE 5 browser that comes with OS 9 - well I don't think Microsoft offers any more upgrades for MAC IE 5.0 (just like they're through with any support for Windows 98)
Is it possible to get another browser like "Safari"?
And if it's possible to get Safari or another browser will it work in OS 9.1? And another consideration is how much cabapility an old G3 has to handle a new browser?
With an 8 gig Hard Drive and 320 Gigs of RAM - who knows?
Any ideas?
Thanx again
Mike

Hey wow lots of help here!
Ok thanx to all - well I wonder how much better IE version 5.1 is than my current OS 9 version 5? Is it negligible?
Looks like at quick glance that Netscape seems to be the better bet, (perhaps more current capability), provided of course that the download doesn't eat too much of my 5.5 Gig remaining in this old 6 gig drive.
And if Netscape is a bigger download, then I guess the 5.1 IE update wouldn't hurt to try it like Don and Jim said?
Maybe it can clear up that stuff that doesn't downlaod properly my comcast's web mail site?
Thanx so much!

    Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on  a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Other countries...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
    Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    With Regard to ML...  Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

    You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

  • Qosmio E10: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic adapter?

    Hello there,
    I have a question regarding a Qosimio E10. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics Adapter to a more recent one. (Now : Geforce FX 5200 Go 64 Mb) Because the one i use now is ot of date and I dont want to buy a new notebook just because of a Graphics Card !
    Thanks for your help
    Marco

    Hi
    No, its not possible because the graphic card is a little small chip which was fixed on the mainboard. The graphic card design is not the same like on the PC desktop.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the motherboar​d/graphics in my dv7-4177nr​?

    When I first bought this laptop it had decent, not great, performance in regards to video game graphics capabilities.  Requirements for video games are constantly evolving and my graphics card is no longer sufficient for new games.  I was wondering if it is at all possible to upgrade the integrated graphics (ATI Radeon HD 5470, I believe) of my dv7-4177nr by purchasing a new motherboard.  If so, what are some model numbers of compatible motherboards?  I would really like to avoid the purchase of a new PC/laptop as this one is only about 1.5 years old I think.
    Thanks!

    Yes it is.... I own a dv7-4177nr myself and talked at length with HP... if you can find the right motherboard (oem) and don't mind doing the work yourself it is doable. Keep in mind you have to swap out the motherboard (mobo) with another because the gpu and sundry is built into the mobo and not detachable like a desktop setup. Also if all you want is a gpu upgrade and are lucky enough to have a PCI card slot there are several options that you can upgrade your gpu to a desktop gpu which eliminates the need to swap motherboards and just run a graphics card (gpu) for gaming or streaming purposes...

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • Is It Possible To Upgrade The Graphics Card In A Late 2006 MacBook (original)?

    I have this Late 2006 Macbook, that still runs great and everything, but the only problem iv been running into, is video. So when i watch a video in QuickTime Player, or QuickView, or even YouTube, the video just randomly starts to flip out. So, is it possible to upgrade the Graphics Card?

    Sorry, not possible.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in the HP ENVY 17-j053ea?

    Hi
    I'm considering buying the HP ENVY 17-j053ea for use as a portable workstation for applications such as Max Design, autocad and photoshop as a second system for when I need to be away from the office but still need the ability to work.
    This machine seems to have a lot of bang per buck and is more in line with my budget than a full on portable workstation.
    As far as upgrade options I presume I could max out the ram at 16GB and put in an SSD as the main OS and application drive and use the main 1TB drive as the mass storage unit.
    What I'm wondering is if it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this machine?
    I don't imagine I would be attempting such an upgrade myself but assuming I leave it into a professional is this possible.
    My worry is that with some of my heavier model files I could feel the limitations of the mid range portable gfx card onboard. I could probably live with it if it is not an option but just putting feelers out.

    Thanks for the reply Paul
    I see.
    That doesn't sound feasible so.
    I can manage the other 2 upgrades within my budget but things seem to get quite expensive on the higher end platforms very quickly.
    It's my first foray into the laptop/workstation arena so I'm not that familiar yet with clever upgrade strategies.
    I did have the use of this model for a few days and It is a really nice overall laptop, both aesthetically and value wise.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac

    Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac?

    Yes but it's definitely not advised. If you have a machine newer than 2009 Apple uses drives that have integrated heat sensors. This makes upgrading much more difficult but not impossible. If you have a machine still under warranty then definitely DO NOT do this yourself as you may void the warranty not to mention it isn't for the faint of heart. Take the machine to an AASP to have the work done, you will need to find one in your area willing to do so.
    If you are considering a new machine then simply buy the configuation you need.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the iMac G3 (1998) to an iMac with Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion ?

    Is it possible to upgrade the iMac G3 (1998) to an iMac with Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion ?

    The 1998 iMac predates the introduction of Firewire.  So yes, it is limited to 10.3.9.  Sonnett did offer an upgrade to the iMac to allow it to have Firewire.  I don't know if this enabled 10.4 or not.   XPostfacto also offered unsupported 10.4 for older iMacs.   But Spotlight and Dashboard are very slow if you can't upgrade to a minimum of 256 MB of RAM, and preferably 512MB of RAM.   Look at http://www.everymac.com/ to find out your Max.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the Mac osx 10.5.11 dual 2.7 Speaking to the issues Such as Mac OS X 10.6

    Is it possible to upgrade the Mac osx 10.5.11
    dual 2.7
    Speaking to the issues
    Such as Mac OS X 10.6

    There isn't a OSX 10.5.11.  It looks like you are asking about how to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 (as suggested in your profile) to 10.6 (or was this another typographical error and you meant 10.5?) on something with a dual 2.7 processor.  If you are talking about a G5 or any G series Mac then you cannot upgrade further than OSX 10.5 Leopard (the forum in which you posted this question).  Only Intel Macs can run 10.6 and greater.
    It would help to know exactly which computer you are using, which exact operating system version it is using, and which one to which you wish to upgrade.
