[QUOTE="jhelm007, post: 180521, member: 6916"] If you use xpostfacto you can get up to jaguar (IIRC). If you install a g3 or G4 upgrade you could run Tiger (again using xpostfacto to install and boot). You might find a relatively cheap upgrade used on ebay. sonnet and XLR8 (daystar) still sell new upgrades for these machines. If you decide to upgrade this thing and try to use to run OSX max out the ram. The cheapest ram I have found is at [url]www.macsales.com[/url] (OWC) they have it for $17-19 per 128 meg stick. You could max out at 1gb for less than $150. [/QUOTE]
