[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 987910, member: 56379"] Basically the PowerPC Mac's are a "dead-end" in terms of Mac OS updates. The most up to date OS you can update to is OS 10.5.8. Apple released OS 10.6 back in late August/early September...and this is only for Mac's with an Intel processor (G4s have a PowerPC processor). But the benefit to the older G4's (and G5's) are they are less expensive to purchase...and the faster ones (like yours) are still very useable. You will also find that some newer software releases may be for "Intel" Macintosh's only...especially games. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
