Got a 9500 (first PCI one) for free, upgraded it with a G4/1000, ~800 MB RAM and an 18 Gig HDD and it's now running Tiger.

Sonnett still offers CPU upgrades at very reasonable prices for the 6100 if you decide to go with it.
(I'd favor an 8500 or 9500 because they've got PCI and are better to expand, but that depends on what you're up to.)

Thanks for that! I done exacly that upon boot-up but nothing sadly. :(


Hmm - you sure there's an OS installed on the HDD? You got a MacOS CD to boot from (Opt-Command-C)?
