1.) review:
----------------
The apple Power Mac G4 is a very powerful computer system for a very low price and is the fastest Mac which is booting under Mac OS 9.
If you want you can also upgrade from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X booting system .


1.1.) speed:
--------------------
If you compare the Power Mac G4 to the PowerMac G5 it might be not the fastest computer system , but it is great computer for
playing games and some other applications like Adobe Photoshop CS3.


1.2.) memory:
-----------------------
Unfortunately the Power Mac G4 only comes with a 256MB memory this might be not enough for newer applications.
If you want you can upgrade the memory up to 2GB.

-------------------------
The hard drive is with 80GB really great and if you want you can also upgrade the mass storage device.

You can also write CD`s but unfortunately no DVDs.

1.5.) connections:

--------------------------------------
The Power Mac G4 comes with the new operating system Mac OS 10.4 Tiger.
The operating system also includes iMovie, iDVD, iTunes iPhoto, GarageBand, iChat, QuickTime, Safari, DVD Player and much more.


2.) Personal Opinion:
-----------------------------------
The computer system is very loud and gets annoying after some time. If you want to use this computer for graphic applications I would not recommend it. It is great if you run office on it, surf the web or if you play some games. All in all it is a good product.
