Its only running a PowerPC G4 and it is running a very old version of OS X.

Probably best to ask someone else but I personally wouldn't go for it - Best to ask someone like MattGarner :)

[dobbin]

But i can have it for 10 pounds.

[Johno]

Then why not :P :)

You didn't mention the price before :)

[dobbin]

Lol ill buy it if i like it ill keep it but if i dont ill do it up and sell it on:D

[xxMATTGxx]

Well if you can get it for £10 or even £20. Then go for it!

Thanks matt and johno:D

Is this a PowerMac G4? Either way looking at what you posted I think that could run Tiger or even Leopard.

[dobbin]

Umm i dosnt say it only says Mac G4.

[xxMATTGxx]

^ You got the link to it? Or any pictures. It doesn't matter as it will most likely still be able to run tiger great and possibly Leopard.

Yeah that sure is a PowerMac :)

Yep thats a power mac G4. The power mac g4 graphite version to be exact. If your lucky you may just beale to run tiger at not a bad speed on that.

For £10 i would say go for it.

so many people switching to mac!!

[omgDAN!]

I've had one of those for a few years, good unit to have, I only use it for GarageBand work but it's pretty awesome at running everything else too.

I got told by my local Mac retailer that they wont run 10.5 though.
