| You shouldnt need any firmware updates, and it should run Panther fine. I bought a 400Mhz (chipped to 500Mhz by the reseller for me) G4 with a DVD-RAM drive in October. Well I traded it for two beige G3s and £300. Thats Pounds Sterling, so $500 sounds pretty good to me in comparison. I actually took my Jaguar HD out of one of the beige G3s, popped it into the G4, booted and upgraded. I had backed my stuff up but in the end it wasnt necessary, and Panther seems to run fine on the upgraded chip. |
