[QUOTE="A_SN, post: 828549, member: 95211"] Thanks a lot for all the replies. So yeah, apparently if I went with the one G4 in the URL (88 euros shipping included, I doubt I can find an Intel Mac for that cheap), I'd be limited to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Xcode 2.5. Why does it matter that I couldn't run Xcode 3.x? What does it change regarding what it can build? (Disclaimer, my code is entirely C and I think I'll replace my WinAPI calls with Carbon API calls). It sounds like if anything I'd get the broadest sort of compatibility by sticking to Tiger and Xcode 2... I'd even get the possibility to test on 10.2 or 10.3 to see how well things work there ;) [/QUOTE]
