G3 powerbook upgrade to 10.2 or 10.3?

I have looked in previously posted forum replies and found nothing or not enough info to answer the following questions:

I have acccess to this laptop: powerbook G3 series; 14.1TFT/233MHz-512K/32MB/2GB HD/4MB video/CD/modem---it is the old barebones black one, has OS 9 on it. I am okay with wiping out OS 9. I have 10.2, 10.3 install CD's and 10.4 install DVD. Which will install? Any of these? Can the RAM be upgraded? How about airport for wireless connections?
I know with firewire I could disk target mode, this has no firewire or I would try transferring 10.2 or 10.3 to it.
Any suggestions other than dumping it?
What is a reasonable value for this machine?


Or the reasonable value for a G4 powerbook, basic unit. I have access to one these as well and surely would like to get it, the price may be prohibitive though. Okay there are a lot of them out there and they are all probably brushed aluminum casings. This one is a 15" (I doubt it is a 17", it might be), right now that is all the info I have. I just need to know a general price range .

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

John Q
