Hello folks
First time poster here and pretty much a Mac novice, I bought a 533MHz (single CPU) G4 Digital audio desktop from a company I used to work for and got a little bored with it so loaned it to my parents to "Silver surf" and play with, is now been returned to me and I'm wondering what to do with it.....
I would like to use it as an Audio/Video Media box and I'm wondering about CPU upgrades, I'm seeing a fair few on eBay different models, Dual CPU and very powerful single CPU and I'm wondering what I can use with my motherboard?, is there a comp chart someone can list for me or advise? I don't wanna go to crazy on power or money as I'm out of work right now but I want to boost the box, I'm already ordering more memory to max out at 1.5GB (1.12GB right now)and a DVD Rom so I can buy/load Leopard (OS X 10.4.11 right now) and upgrade all software and I'm looking at a 64MB graphics card....so those are the easy bits...
What CPU can I use please?
Many thanks in advance
