[QUOTE="Tom1989, post: 1228777, member: 200298"] Hi guys, I have now been a mac owner for a total of 24 hours. I've come by an old 2003 Power Mac G4 (model number: M8570). The HDD seems to be unusable but other than that the machine seems to be in decent order. I also have a brand new 1TB external HDD with mac OS leopard installed which I've been told I should be able to run the G4 from (I'm collecting it tonight). I'm thinking of investing some money and trying to put a new processor in (thinking of the i7) and of course upgrading the RAM accordingly. Being very unfamiliar with macs I'm basically looking for guidance on whether this is even possible and if so if there are any likely problems I'll hit. Thanks in advance guys, Tom [/QUOTE]
