| Thanks for the reply andychrist (and the other forumers), I never thought about the Mhz border. The only thing I had in mind was the "needs a G4" requirement.
Unfortunally, it will take another 5 months until I am able to buy a new machine (with the current lousy job including my 2nd job, working at the apple reseller, its only possible for me to save $ 100 per month)
Has anybody tried these applications on a 450 Mhz G4. Do they work at all? Is the "Required hardware not found!" idvd styled message the only thing which appears, if you are trying to launch one of those apps? The price of the G4 is still tempting, if I compare it to the prices of a well know online auction site, or other places.
Regarding the equipment statement, I already have enough spare parts lying around, for examble a spare Apple branded Superdrive, there is a Mac Geforce 2 MX somewhere "hiding" in my closet (I only need something which is OSX 10.3 compatible and has 32MB vram, right?)
I got most of these parts from my 2nd job, or through ebay. RAM isn't a problem eigher.
I also considered a used QuickSilver, but most of these sell for $ 1000 in Germany.
edit: Wooohaaa found a used quicksilver on ebay (buy at once option) for $ 800, maybe I'll save my money and buy one of those in ~ 2 months. (if they are still sold for this price)
