I was thinking of buying a new iMac for $1600. Then I thought I could upgrade my old G4 w/ 512 DIMM x2 for less than $100 bringing me to 1.5 Gig of memory. Plus I found a interior super drive brand new for $50.
So for less that $200 bucks I could have a decent machine again.or should I just bite the bullet and make another major purchase with my credit card.

you don't mention the processor speed of your G4. I had a 550mhz Titanium and it was killing me even with maxed out RAM. I bought an iMac and am much happier.

mmmm 400Mhz cough cough.
I only use it for internets stuff and itunes. No heavy PS work at home.
Will I be happy with a fixed up whoopty? I know I'm not even that happy with my G5 1.8 MHz heree at work. This thing is the first and slowest G5 we have.

I'm on a G4 400mhz at home with 1.5 GB of ram...and at work on a pimp G5 tower & G4 Powerbook. There's a big difference in speed and efficiency, so go ahead and make the upgrade...you know you want to charge that shit up!

My common law wife brought up that we could get a laptop wit the money we'd save in just using the fixer upper. God I love it when she talks tech.
