[QUOTE="tytanic11, post: 120869"] After playing with my new PowerBook, my little brother is addicted to the iLife apps, particularly GarageBand and iPhoto.. needless to say, pulling him away from my PowerBook to get work done is quite hard. Since it's our family's only mac, he can't run those programs on any other computer, and is looking to buy a used Mac. It'd obviously have to run OS X, and run it at a decent speed- what are my minimum requirements ? I know Apple's official ones, but I mean to run it well. Since he won't be using it too much, he's most likely looking for a G3 or G4 model, in the $200-$300 or less range. Keep in mind, he's not playing games or anything - just GarageBand, Mail, maybe Safari. Would one of the older iMacs work? What about a lower end G4 tower? Mimimum processor speed?
