[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 979631, member: 56379"] To run OS 10.5 you need a minimum of an 867mhz CPU. You could purchase a CPU upgrade card...but it will most likely cost more than your G4 is worth...which by the way is about $50 dollars or less. But if you can find a used upgrade card cheap (Craig's List or e-Bay)...and some ram (you can upgrade to 2 gig of ram in your computer)...this would probably run you around $100-$150 bucks. This would still be cheaper than a new computer. But keep in mind...for about $250-$300...you can purchase a used 1.8ghz dual-cpu G5 desktop. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
