[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1240833, member: 8287"] With the 400Mhz G4 you are stuck with 10.4 Tiger. There are ways to fool 10.5 Leopard (Leopard Assist) to run on the under 867 Mhz G4, but it will be very slow. Tiger will be fine but do give it at least 512 Megs RAM if you can. The AGP Graphics machines will take up to 4x512 MB PC100 SDRAM modules for a total of 2GB, but some of that is not cheap. There is a 128GB limit on the hard drive on the older systems like on older PC hardware. You can put 2x120GB IDE hard drives in the system. [/QUOTE]
