[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 634258, member: 8287"] If it for sure a 500 Mhz G4 then it's a G4 Sawtooth (AGP Graphics). The Yikes had no AGP slot and the top CPU was 400 Mhz. The Gigabit had either a single 400 Mhz or Dual 450 or Dual 500 Mhz G4's. I own one. Tiger will run but give it all the RAM you can afford. The G4 Sawtooth will take 4 512Meg PC100 Dimm's for 2GB RAM. Just be sure the 512Meg Dimm's do not contain High Density chips. Panther 10.3 will work also but it's getting a bit old and Safari which can not be updated to the newer versions is way out of date. I would up the RAM and run Tiger. It's a lot more modern for todays Web sites. If we can help in any way, let us know. [url]http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/sawtooth-power-mac-g4-agp.html[/url] That is a URL to your machine. Also if it were a Yikes, the Audio Jacks would sit Side by Side instead of One on top of the other like the Sawtooth. [/QUOTE]
