[QUOTE="MacDude121, post: 1172436, member: 173432"] If you're going to use this at school, I'd really try for a Macbook, or one of the fastest PowerBooks at least. I'm currently using an iBook G4 as my main computer, and it's starting to just not cut it. I can't even play a moderately simple flash game without slowdown anymore. Granted if I got more ram it would probably run better and faster, but you're gonna need something that's future proof, and the ever aging Power PC G3's, G4's, and G5's definitely are not. Just my opinion. Also, if money is a problem, try looking at apple's refurbished machines instead of the brand new ones. :) -Good Luck [/QUOTE]
