Hello everyone,
I need some opinions....
I have a iBook G4 that I bought used. It's kinda old (made in 2004), and I really love this thing to death. I have so much trouble and nonsense out of my windows computers it's pathetic. I really do adore this thing, it doesn't ever give me trouble!
Well, I'm a teenager, and in this economy it's hard for adults to get jobs, much less people under 18. With no income, money is short.
Because my computers coming up on 5 years, its specs aren't all that great. I have Mac OS X 10.4.11, 256 MB of RAM, a PowerPC G4 1.2 GHz Processor, and other outdated stuff.
I don't really have the money to go buy a new Mac, and I'm trying to figure out what's the better choice. Would it be worth it to do a little upgrading here and there on this Mac, or should I just save up for a whole new computer? I'm not really a hardcore computer person. I just like to surf the web a little and listen to a bunch of music.
I really want to get Mac OS X 10.5 on this thing, and I think I need an Intel Processor for that. Is that true? Can my computer even take an Intel Processor?
Could I also get a rough price range on what it would cost for a new Processor (that could support OS X 10.5) and about 1 or 2GB of RAM?
Thanks for reading,
