I am looking to replace one of my machines that I use mainly for torrents and basic internet type tasks with a mac.....does anyone think that something like an old g3/g4 would cut it for these simple type things?
Any G4 with a speed >500MHz would work great for this, expecially if it is wired to the network. Craigslist often has 500-733MHz PowerMac G4s for between $150-$250.
