Pantso:
I agree with ecsyle. The more RAM you add, the better! In fact, I don't believe that any other Mac owner would tell you otherwise.   ;)   Other than that, try ebay or lowendmac.com, by following the links ecsyle and LinuxUser provided and I'm sure you'll get a good deal.   ;)

I know, but Linux is the "poor man's OS" so I thought he would be interested.

i didn't mean to come off as an asshole, and after rereading my post, that is what i sounded like...
i don't know about linux being the "poor man's OS". Redhat is a very good os. It is just not osX. its hard to explain jaguar. it just feels so steady. i guess its aqua that feels steady. but it rocks, and its worth the money. it just sucks you have to pay for it.

Thanks for everyone's help just FYI I currently have 2 system at running redhat 8.2 on one and 9.0 on the other the fact that OSX has unix underlayer is one of main things that interested me thanks again for the suggestions and info.

Well I payed 80 dollars for Red Hat 7, so that isn't really it.  I know Linux isn't OS X.  There are some very good things in OS X, like quartz extreme, and I can admit it.  I just don't think OS X is *good enough* to justify it being non-Free.  Actually nothing is "that good," so let me rephrase that:  OS X is so good that I wish it were Free software.  Not so I can get it to run on my ch34p PC necessarily, but because if the graphics layer in OS X were open source it could be implemented on Linux and then it would be trivial to port OS X apps to Linux.  OS X runs all X11/Linux apps, and it would be cool if it worked the other way around.  If apple is worried about M$ taking their software or something, they could put it under the GPL, and then only free OSes could use it.  I guess nobody would use OS X if you could run Aqua on Linux though   :(
