[QUOTE="Benjamindaines, post: 94799, member: 8386"] You should buy IMO The QuickSilver 733Mhz you can upgrade the ram to what ever you want later. If it comes with anything except Panther (10.3.x) on it you should up grade it to Panther, about 120 US$. The 348MB RAM will run OS X fine but to do photo shop you should go with at least 768 [1GB is over kill unless you are doing RAW files]. There is no BIOS on mac but there is a HD size limit in the G4. I will find out what that is and post back. You can use any windows-formated HD, OSX can read and rite to it [with the exception of .exe files] but i suggest re-formating it to the OS X format in Disk Utility[is already on the mac dont worry].
