[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 564071"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, rieg77. Keep in mind that OS X Leopard minimum requirements ask for a G4 867MHz CPU or faster. This is of course the minimum which means it might not be too thrilling to use (no speed demon here). And if you do go for a slower, older Mac, you will most undoubtedly need to max out the RAM. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay. A good compromise would be to go for an older Mac like you are looking at at the moment but stay with OS X Tiger specs. In terms of the OS features, you won't be missing out on much and Tiger is still very much contemporary. Heck! I'm still using it myself. But the more RAM, the merrier. You can always upgrade at a later date when money is more abundant. [/QUOTE]
