[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 48390, member: 5184"] Ok, well... Looks like a PowerMac G4 400MHz (which is the CPU speed, not memory) A running OS9 is good, so you can upgrade the firmware. The problem is, the G4 400MHz existed in three models: the "Yikes!" with PCI graphics, the "Sawtooth" with AGP graphics and the famous and very cute Apple Cube. Check the folowing link, it tells you how to recognise it: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418[/url] If it's an AGP, you can find the firmware and how-to here: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120068[/url] Here's a grid of available firmware uprades for all Macs: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117[/url] [/QUOTE]
