[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 563947, member: 26695"] Welcome. When you are looking at older machines like that, I would consider a model with dual processors. I had a dual 1GHz MDD. It was a nice machine. First thing I would do though would be to add a USB 2.0 PCI card. All G4 PowerMacs only support USB 1.1. A PCI card would be the only way to get USB 2.0. If you could put up a little more money and get a Dual 1.8GHz G5, I would do that. It's going to be significantly faster and it will last you longer than a G4 would. [/QUOTE]
