[QUOTE="box777, post: 708209, member: 63985"] great, I was a real concerned about investing more money into the computer, because it didn't meet the software manufactorer's specs, but I started browsing another forum (audio production oriented), and there was at least one person on there running osX and protools 7 on an old sawtooth. I guess it can be done, but I'm still nervous about investing $100-$200 in RAM for this thing. We'll see how I feel about it when I get OS 10.4 on there, hopefully tonight, if not later this week. I guess if all fails for my needs, I know I can still sell everything. Eventually I'll need to get a macbook for giggin,' but since I'm moving to middle of nowhere for a year to do some volunteer work, I have at least a year mostly stationary. Also, about the ID. I keep looking for information on the processor, but it doesn't seem to be located in the 'about this computer' window. I don't see a 'more info' button or anything like that either. I'm OS9 illiterate, which is what is currently on the machine. I did look, and noticed that it has both a phone jack and an ethernet jack in the back, and the 1/16" audio in and out are located one above the other, not side to side. Does this mean I have a Gigabit Ethernet or Digital Audio G4? [/QUOTE]
