Skype version on Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther

Question

What is the last version of Skype that runs on a Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9 ? I've download a so called compatible version but it doesn't start. I've also heard that it can be a problem coming from Quicktime version...

Answer 1

Here is the bottom of the download page :

System Requirements :

• Mac computer with G4, G5 or Intel processor, 800 MHz or faster.
• Mac OS X v10.3.9 (Panther) or newer.
• For higher-resolution video a faster processor (Core 2 Duo) and a broadband connection with at least 384kbps upload speeds.
• 512 MB RAM.
• 100 MB free disk space on your hard drive.
• Either a built-in or external microphone is required for voice calls.
• Either USB or regular headset if your Mac does not have a built-in microphone.
• Download drivers if you are using an external webcam.
• Internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls).

Technical details :

• Version 2.8.0.851 File size 44 MB. Official release. Release date: February 10, 2010. File name: Skype_2.8.0.851.dmg

The problem is not only the version on Mac OS X, but the hardware requirements.

Does your computer meet them ?
