[QUOTE="csegeek, post: 916065, member: 105154"] agree with all of the above... here is my take . G4 iBooks and even the PowerBooks .. not worth the $$ you have listed. if you are in the US check CraigsList daily .. should be able to find one for 200 or less. They are still good for most of the items you have listed and will run 10.5 relatively well. Online video (Hulu) is out with most of them up to 1.33ghz just not enough Processing Power. But they are good machines well built to last for a long time. Go with the Intel's (Chk CraigsList) and go test out the computer first before you buy. This will give you better availability in the future and has the Processing Power for today's applications and will also be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard.. You will not be unhappy if you go with a dual core processor, may hurt the wallet more but worth it ... and don't for get to check CraigsList .. should be able to get someones older white or Black (mmmm good) MacBook for 500 or Less.
