I recently purchased a Gigabit tower w/ dual 450 MHz G4 processor w/ 1 gig of RAM and two hard drives off ebay. I think I got it for a good price which was $49.99 plus shipping. I have already taken the liberty of upgrading the RAM to 2 GB. The computer is a little slow when bringing up some web pages that have complex graphics and such. My question is, what would be the best thing to do now that the RAM is maxed? I thought about buying the ATI Radeon 9200 Pro from OWC thinking that it may help speed up my system when rendering web pages. I'd also like to purchase a new HD however I don't have an OS X install disc. BTW, I'm running OS X 10.3.9 which had been preinstalled on the system. I had considered just buying a new system as I have been calculating up the cost to upgrade this old G4 but I seem to have a soft spot for these older G4 Macs. Anyway, any input on what I should do next would be greatly appreciated. I have been an avid Mac fan and user for about 12 years.
