[QUOTE="mgill3, post: 920334, member: 125354"] After a long, dark period of being stuck with a Windows PC as my only computer, for the past couple of years... I've finally purchased another Mac! I've had several Mac's, but due to hard times, I ended up having to sell them... :( (Long story short, I was a Windows user until I started using Mac's in 2003, but lately have been stuck with a Windows PC) UPS is scheduled to deliver my "new" iMac G4 tomorrow. Specs: iMac G4 17-inch 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 512MB RAM 80GB Hard Drive 4x SuperDrive Original Pro Keyboard & Mouse Mac OS X Tiger Preinstalled I'm going to upgrade the RAM to 2GB and upgrade the hard drive to something bigger. I will also likely replace the SuperDrive with a new one, since they're so cheap and so much faster. I've always loved OS X Tiger, and feel a little hesitant to upgrade to Leopard, being that I haven't even really used it yet... although from what I read, Leopard will be a worthy upgrade on a 1.25 G4, and from what I understand, it should run just as well, if not better. Anybody who's running Leopard on a 1.25 iMac, please feel free to chime in. Also, anybody running iLife '06 on Leopard? How's everything run? Thanks! And I'm glad to be back in the Mac community!
