[QUOTE="pokeman89, post: 908633, member: 121289"] Yeah, but I could always use a spare monitor. My Dell CRT is starting to make weird noises anyway, so I think it is on it's way out. I have an LCD I would use instead. I was thinking of that too, but since I only want to use it for about a year upgrading it would not be worth it at all, except maybe in graphics. Another concern is that it has only usb 1.1 so my ipod nano 4G would not work on it. Then again, I have two PCs that it does work on, so it isn't a dealbreaker, and I honestly cannot expect a mac with usb 2.0 for this price range anyway. Last time I had a spare CRT, I gave it away for a broken laptop which I then turned around and sold for $30 for parts, so I have made money off of CRTs myself before. Now that I think about it, I have a Nvidia geforce 4 mx 440 AGP 8x card, that power mac has a 2 mx card, would I be able to upgrade it? I do not know which AGP slot it has, or whether or not it would like the hardware choice, especially if it came from a dell. And also, based on this "Assumption" from apple's article ([url=http://web.archive.org/web/20010801150307/http://www.apple.com/powermac/specs.html]Apple - Products - Power Mac G4 - Technical Specifications[/url]) and a benchmark test that compared the 1.7GHz P4 to my 2.4, that powerPC G4 would run a whopping 3% faster than my Dell. I would take that, my Dell runs okay, it can even handle 720p HD even though it is technically not supposed to :P [/QUOTE]
