Hello,
I'm an experienced musician, but a total newbie with the Macs. I'm very tired of my PC with all theese bugs and etc, so I've decided to enter the world of Macs and stay there. I've been made an offer: G4 450Khz 1.5Gb RAM, no monitor and no audio interface for 1000 USD. Is it a worthy deal? Currently I have Pentium celeron 4 with 1,5Ghz and 640 DDRAM. Will the speed of this mac equal or exceed the speed of my current PC? Will the PC monitor work with the Mac? Thanks for the help in advance, mates.

I got an 867 w/1.12gig Ram for 900 buy it now.

You can get a good deal if you watch it like a hawk, saw a 1ghz powerbook for $1500 get snapped up in a few minutes... I suppose if I waited I could have done better, not by much though.

even a dual 450 isnt worth $1000 from what I have seen. macofalltrades.com has them for $799.

forget RAM in the price

Ram is the cheapest thing to upgrade, its $150 for a gig these days.
Look for the newest motherboard/cpu you can afford, dual 867s are a great deal if you have 1500 to spend, usually that covers superdrive AND maxed ram.

Another good thing, scsi160 drives - that makes a difference worth paying for.

just my opinions though,
Scotty
