Okay... lets try a different size piece of bait. :D

2.4Ghz P4 (533Mhz FSB)
512MB RD Ram (800Mhz)(that's 2 256MB RIMMS - 2 open slots still)
60GB 7200RPM HD
DVD & 40X CDRW
USB 2.0 (2 front ports)
Front Firewire port (needs internal PCI firewire card)
Front headphone & mic jacks
Geforce 3 Ti 500 64MB DDR (DVI/VGA/S-video out)
Onboard LAN
Onboard SoundMax (ADI) Sound
Motherboard:
Intel D850EMD2 (http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d850emd2/)
+ a Logitech Keyboard & mouse.
***PLUS A PC COPY OF Soldier of Fortune 2***

Will come full installed with all kinds of goodies ;)
*gets like 100+FPS in Quake 3, 90FPS in Soldier of Fortune 2... it rocks the games :D

What I would like in exchange?

Dual G4 450 or higher...
or something like a 733/867 Quicksilver
maybe a Powerbook G4? iBook g3 700 with combo drive?
*no systems that are barebones :)

haha, its a very impressive rig, very similar to mine. only thing that could really be better is a newere video card. the geforce 3 are starting to show its age with newer games, but yet is still performing strong. i would expect you to get a quicksilver at least. i wouldnt go with a dual 450, it will be slower in most tasks if i had to guess, even if it is dual.

Sorry i would keep my g4 800 & geforce 3 over a wintel any day of the week. Im sure thats a nice set up but the only problem is that its(yuck) Windows. Maybe someone will see your post and have a g4 they want to walk away from. good luck!

Okay so I'm looking for someone who wants to trade with me.

1. That means I am looking for someone with a G4 (see first post) to trade

2. Not your system specs :p I'm sure you have a very nice system. You see I'm trying to get a MAC, if you like yours and don't want to trade I promise I won't force you.

3. Not your opinions, I know people don't like windows. However, I'm looking for someone who has a need whatever it is for a PC and has and extra or old G4 they want to trade.

PS. someone might just want to install Linux on this bad boy!

I'm not impatient about not having traded it so much as alittle irked by some who like to say.. " I've got this and I like it I'm not trading" or "oh yuk Windoze!"

That would be like me going to a store that only sold PCs and asking where the Macs were... Especially if the store had a neon flashing sign that read "WE ONLY HAVE WINDOZE PCs HERE"
*for a similar situation watch the movie Notting Hill, very good example in the TRAVEL BOOK store. :D hehe

I am glad they like their systems.. I'm trying to trade someone who maybe has an extra and wants a PC or someone who just wants to switch in reverse :D

you guys should stop basing him for having a pc. he has a very nice pc and probably blows away what most of us here have. if you wanna play games and dont wanna mac this is an excellent machine. if a person wants to play games, i dont care what kind of mac you have, its gonna suck with games and this will be a nice machine.
