eMac 1GHz support?

Didn't nicholas just get MOS 2.6 installed on the same model of eMac recently?

Nope, mines a 1.25GHz eMac (PowerMac 6,4).

It's an amazing beast to behold running MOS2.6 I must say!

I bet I could swap my unused 700mhz eMac for the 1.25ghz one serving as a kitchen computer with no one noticing...

Go for it, just swap hard drives too to be on the safe side.

Dunno where you are from, but I just saw an 1.25 GHz eMac on ebay Germany, currently at 1 EUR: http://cgi.ebay.de/Apple-eMac-G4-17-Zoll-/320612464596?pt=Apple_Systeme&hash=item4aa5fdf7d4 (if I had more storage room I would conside a cheap bid myself, but storage is full...).

But I'd rather go for a PowerMac G4. They aren't that much more expensive than an eMac and you are free to attach a bigger display and you can - depending on funds and demand - upgrade the cpu up to 1.8 GHz. If funds are not too tight I recommend a Mac mini G4 1.5 GHz - I like mine very much. But the 1.5 GHz models are rare and usually go for 200+ EUR.

I bought my eMac on ebay UK for £27 and my 733 MHz Quicksilver G4 Tower for £45.

Both of them are super fast too.
