Hello, I am wanting to buy a cheap used Powermac G4 to run OSX. I was wondering if a 500mhz, 256mb machine would be fast enough to run it well, or if the dual cpu would be worth the extra money. This would be my first mac and I am basically just wanting to see how it works. I would mostly just be doing basic things, word processing, web surf, but I would also like to ocasionally use Itunes and maybe even Photoshop. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Which Powermac G4 to run OSX?

used macs aren't cheap. look on ebay. you will be looking at about £500 for something that runs OSX effectively (600mhz+ and 512mb RAM)
for that, you may as well buy a brand new mini, 1.2GHz and 512MB ram and an 80gb HDD. Tiger preinstalled.
