[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 679098, member: 42497"] It will not run the same as a new iMac which has a much, much faster system bus speed and processor. An upgrade such as a Mercury Extreme with 2MB L3 cache will sure improve your G4 out of site. Used a 1.3GHz and was happy with it. You may like something like a 1.8 DP. Upgrade the memory to 2GB and install a faster graphics card, such as a good second hand ATI Radeon 9000 Mac Pro with 128MB RAM and yoju will be happy with it. But it won't be the same as a new iM ac as it will still have a 100MHz system bus speed. [/QUOTE]
