[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 918275, member: 56379"] My quick answer without researching...and considering you already have 4 Macs...that upgrading this computer probably isn't worth it. As it is now, it's probably worth less than $100 bucks, and after you've purchased everything you want to upgrade(ram, HD, graphics card)...that's going to probably cost at least $100-$150...then it's going to cost you a bunch more for a CPU upgrade (because even used they can still be pricey). You would be better off just buying a better computer. Recently another member on Mac-forums (like yesterday) is going to be purchasing a Dual 1.25ghz Mirror Drive Doors Powermac G4 for $150. So you can see how that is a much better computer for the money than an 800mhz G4 (that was upgraded from a 400mhz G4 (old architecture)). Your 800mhz G4 is definitely good for a lot of tasks...it's just not good financially to upgrade it, when you can get a better computer for the cost of the upgrades. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
