[G4] G4 info needed

[Luke Rademacher]

Yeah it is off topic, belongs on the G5 List.

However that price is pretty decent... I saw earlier at Dv Warehouse  
a used/preowned Dual 1.8 G5 with only 512MB RAM and 80GB HD for $740.

$800 for yours is very generous, due to the 3GB of RAM and Two 250GB  
HD's.

I've contemplated getting a used Dual G5 myself, since the MDD Dual  
G4 doesn't offer much of an upgrade path and the G5 is the last Mac  
that can run Mac OS Classic.

Peace,
