[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 929964, member: 24098"] The CPU is non-upgradeable. Even if it was, the chipset in that machine wouldn't support an Intel processor of any kind, since that machine uses a PowerPC CPU and supporting hardware. You could upgrade the memory and the hard drive, but that's about it. Even then, the benefit would be dubious since you can't run anything newer than OS X 10.4 on it. It simply doesn't meet the minimum requirements for anything newer. Sounds like a fun toy to play with, but just as with Windows machines, anything that's 10+ years old is mostly worthless unless you're running a museum. [/QUOTE]
