[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1321660, member: 56379"] Well...maybe...maybe not! This pretty much seals the deal on the "maybe not" part.;) Old/older Mac's are pretty much financially not worth upgrading...and this Powermac G4 you got NEEDS A LOT...even to get it into shape for internet usage (basically more ram)...256meg is LOW...(and an updated OS)...probably OS 10.4. You could easily spend $150 on what I mentioned...and still have a SLOW POKE computer. Sorry. The only real way to use obtain/use an older Mac like this...is to get one that has already been upgraded...and is just "plug in & play". If you didn't care about the $$$...and just wanted to resurrect and old Mac..heck...I say go for it. But the $150-$200 you could spend on this old Powermac G4...you could get a MUCH NICER & faster dual-processor Powermac G5. Good thing you stopped here first before starting to spend $$$!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
