[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 801165, member: 56231"] Get Mactracker [url=http://www.mactracker.ca/]Mactracker - get info on any Mac[/url] to read what upgrades can be done.

Unfortunately you're limited to USB 1 @ 12 Mbps, but no PCI cards (or processor upgrades) though. You can put in an Airport card. Maximum RAM for that model is 1 Gb (2 x 512). I agree with buenos about Tiger, perhaps Panther, but not Leopard. Almost any capacity hard drive will suit as long as it's ATA (not SATA).
