The Blue&White, eh?

You can get G4 upgrades for those.  OS X can be slow on a G3 (AltiVec from G4 helps it out a lot).

But otherwise a really nice machine.  Oldest Mac that properly runs OS X.

I love my G4.. It runs Ettercap, Ethersniff, MacStumbler, KisMAC, Snort, NMAP and a whole host off Free GNU software and Hackware and its totally customizable... It's making me cum in my pant's!! LMAO

I only recently swapped over to OS_X after using WinXP Home edition for three years.. I love it to bit's.. The first thing that strikes you is how less it fucks up!

The second thing that strikes you is it's a real OS, im gonna be reading my Unix bible for the next comming months.. Twice the ammount of command line power, multitasking.. oh god.. I lub it!

Also I dont know if youve heard about this, but apparently theres a way of flashing the firmware for whatever type of DVD drive you have to make them region free! You need DVD InfoX and that'll tell you what version of software your DVD drive uses.. then you can patch em to run a region free!

DVDinfoX and the Firmware to flash your DVD to run Region free can be found on this site, please be careful when you attempt to do this.. Because if you do it with the wrong firmware youll break your DVD drive forever!

Use DVDinfoX to find out what Firmware Software your DVD is running.

People in the States wont need it as most of there DVD drives run region free anyway.

Not true, most players/drives in the US are set to region 1.  Which is not region free by any means
