[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 965645, member: 36483"] Unfortunately that machine will not run Snow Leopard, and will even be slow with Leopard. I just sold my parents 1.2 GHz with maxed RAM and 7200 RPM hard drive. They are very patient with older technology but it was painful even for them to try to get around even the internet with it. The PowerPC processor has been left behind by modern technologies, forget anything with flash, it's going to be a slideshow. It could be OK for very light browsing, word processing, etc, but these old Macs are obsolete now. My advice to you would be to resell this, since people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for old Macs on eBay. You could probably get $300 for it, then save for a little while and get at least an early Intel Mac. [/QUOTE]
