[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1228783, member: 56379"] Keep dreaming!!!;) Some Powermac G4's did have processor upgrade possibilities (a faster G4 cpu or dual G4 cpu's)...but ABSOLUTELY nothing even close to an Intel cpu...let alone an Intel "i7" cpu!!!!!! Some of the earlier Powermac's also had a 128gig hard drive limit (so that 1 terabyte drive won't do any good)...and max. ram is probably 1.5 or 2.0 gig. We would need more exact model info when you get it...but the basic limitations listed above for a 2003 Powermac G4 should give you an idea of it's limits. Also (depending on the model)...in the U.S. many older Powermac G4 models are only worth around $50 bucks (maybe a little more in the UK if that's where you're from). Thus investing too much $$$/£££ isn't a wise idea. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
