[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1281993, member: 56231"] OS 9 works with an external VGA monitor, OS X (eg. Panther) also. In both cases you will need a third-party (eg. Sonnet) VGA video card, which your old G4 appears to have installed (your G4 has no native external display facility). I have a G3 b/w 350 MHz machine, dual OS 9 & X, operating via a VGA card and monitor. Essentially though, you're using old technology, and that with limited specs, eg. the minimum RAM, as you've outlined. I don't enjoy saying it, but you're on a road to nowhere. You'll need to use much more modern and powerful hardware to achieve what you're trying to do. [/QUOTE]
