Well, the reason I have the machine is that I develop some stuff under OSX,
generally speaking I develop under the Sparc and x86 platform(Guess which
one I prefer, hint its not IA-32.. I did however feel that the IA-64
platform might bring SOME good with it anyway, Hammer looks good.). The
workstation I am stuck with on the x86 Athlon side is quite simular as
yours, just 1G DDR ram, one 19" monitor and a Asus Ti500 Pure card. Oh yea,
and a 120GB WD Special Edition disk(They are okey.. IBM's are better
though).
The G4's grapichcard is a GeForce 3 64MB DDR btw.. I'm quite proud over the
machine since it performs so well, HOWEVER, since I do like to game a
bit(its relaxing) I would like to see Half Life and Counterstrike ported to
OSX .. Oh well.. Hope is the last thing that leaves..
