[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 924189, member: 42497"] One note you will need a Mac compatible graphics card. Very, very few PC cards will work in your G5. Look on eBay and such for say a flashed 6200 card with 256MB VRAM. Best operating systems once you beef up the memory are Leopard OS X.5 and Tigers OS X.4. Make sure you purchase the black coloured DVD known as the full retail install and do not buy silver grey colouref restore or so called 'Drop In' discs as they are extremely model specific. [/QUOTE]
