I have been using an 867mhz G4 as my primary computer for a long time
with virtually zero problems running slimserver, entourage, firefox,
and word simultaneously.

However, I did have to put a new card in it a few years back when I
learned that this particular mac could not read IDE drives larger than
120GB or so.  I think the card cost me $60, but it wasn't easy to find.
Keep that in mind if you pick up an old G4.  They do seem to run
forever though.
