You are probably going to have to upgrade your firmware first before you
can install OS X. See this link. Go down to the G4 section, and check for
a firmware update. These older machines sometimes require you to upgrade
the firmware before you can install OS X.

> Hi. Just signed up. Couple concerns.
> 1. I have a 350Mhz G4, bought in early 2000, still running 9.2.2 but it

> I changed the original 10gig hard drive to a 40gig for operating software
> and application., I also put in an 80gig for my working files. I am

> 2. I am thinking of a processor upgrade from 350Mhz to 1.4Mhz. Any

> What is the best upgrade for this machine?
