I have a mac PowerPC G4
and i heard you could change your operating system on a windows computer and on a mac (duh).
But i was wondering... can you remove your mac operating system and put on a windows operating system like windows 2000?
Thanks
 
No the CPU is a PowerPC, not and Intel x86 unit.

If you want windows on that it'll have to emulate a x86 CPU first in software, and likely run about 1/3 of clock speed -- ie, painfully slow.

There are variant of Linux that you can find.

The Mac Intels conform enough to the PC standard, that they are several drivers away (bootcamp) from natively running x86 software. So full clock speed ahead with Windows.
