I was just going to get a mac to run morphOS, now I think I should get a Sam 460 as well with AOS4, just to see if they start yelling at each other on my desk.  I'll put the A4000 in between as mediator.   The linux box can watch and shake its head.


they'll gang up on the windows machine passing by though :)

Well "Quicksilver" and "Digital Audio" Powermac G4's can take 1.5GB the rest can take 2GB (i've ignored the "Yikes!" PCI Gfx model). Powermac G5's can take a lot more - my G5 Quad has got 8GB of ram but it can take up to 16GB iirc for example.

Thanks!
So G4 is limited to 2 gigs generally, and G5 is ..well, more than you'd ever need :)

I agree 100 bucks isn't bad at all for a system. For me, its more a concern of reliability. Computer croaks, and valuable data is either lost or unavailable for a period of time.
 
Mac's tend to be pretty reliable, but I wouldn't entrust aging hardware to anything valuable. On a hobby basis, you are likely fine of course.
