[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 334120, member: 8287"] To back up what Zeppelin said, Tiger will work fine on that G4 466. That machine is code named Digital Audio. I have one but upgraded the CPU to a G4 1.8Ghz. Like Zeppelin stated, it's hard to compare different architectures but stock I would say maybe like a PIII 700 or so. At least that is how if felt to me overall when I first got mine. One thing I would do though is boost the RAM as far as you can afford. The Digital Audio takes PC133 SDRAM. It has 3 slots and each one with take a 512Meg PC133 DIMM. That would give you 1.5GB. Even 1GB would work quite well with Tiger. Just don't expect with the 466 for it to run like a P4 2.5Ghz but it's not bad and useable for a lot of applications. Zeppelin answered your other questions. Hope this helps a bit anyway. Edit; Usually the 466 Macs don't have a DVD drive but some did. Check and see when you get it. If not you can get a DVD Drive from say New Egg and put it in place of whatever comes stock. Mine had a CDR/W in it. I installed a 16X Sony dVD drive and it works great. [/QUOTE]
