[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 889967, member: 8287"] That machine is a G4 450Mhz Sawtooth. I see 2 memory modules. The tag on back says 256MB RAM. I wonder if there are 2 128Meg Dimms in there or if the ram was upgraded. Tiger would be pretty slow with 256Megs RAM. That hard drive will work, but since I doubt you will get more than $50 or so per machine, don't spend too much. Any old IDE (ATA) hard drive will work. You got a good deal at $10 per machine though. If you are in it just to make a decent profit, I doubt you will get too much profit but it could be a way for people who have never used a Mac or OSX to try one for a low price. Just don't expect wonders from that old a machine. [/QUOTE]
