Ok, so here's the deal, I have recently acquired an old Power Mac that is in perfect working condition except that it is terribly outdated. I am a photographer and have been wanting a good Mac to work on my photos with and am trying to decide whether it would be worth it to spend the money to upgrade everything on this computer (i.e. HD, processor, ram, OS, etc) or get rid of it and put the money towards a newer Mac. Here are the specs:
1999 B&W Power Mac G3
350 Mhz Processor
1 MB cache
512 MB RAM (Still has one out of four slots open)
6 GB HD
CD-ROM
ATI Rage Graphics Card
MAC OS X Panther 10.3.5
I'm a Mac lover but I am definitely not a computer wiz. Any suggestions would be appreciated. One of my main questions is would I be able to upgrade this computer enough to be able to use the Leopard or Tiger OS and run Adobe CS4 or CS5 applications efficiently, as that is my main goal. And if so what would it take to get it there? Please help!
