Granted, what personally interest you is unimportant as you are not the
person seeking the information.
However you did make a better stab at answering the question. upgrading
the processor does not a new mac make, nor does it apparently make for
building one of course.
Personally there is nothing wrong with running os 9 if it suits your
purposes, vo does not run with what I use the mac for, so for me os 9
is just fine, and I personally think 512 meg of memory is more than
baseless.
This is me, however and I would not project my interests onto
this person, nor diminish their goals as I am not them. It is their time
after all?

because when you upgrade an old mac, you only upgrade the processor or ram,
or maybe, pci cards. big deal. I to, have torn down, did magic tricks and
rebuilt a pc, for a living mind you and you donb't see me wripping my mac a
part to see if I could do it. it just doesn't interest me.
As mac users we know the reason why mac os and mac hw run so well is because
they were written for each other. now, if he is so pressed on running a mac
on a pc, then why not go get osm 9 and baseless rom and a couple of other
items and have a litteral mac on your indows pc???

In an effort to add something educational here, what is the difference
between what he is suggesting, and say upgrading an older mac to a newer
one? Others have done this on this list or have referenced as much.
building a pc from parts is not uncommon, so I can understand the spirit of
the goal, but not why the idea is such an odd one where macs are concerned?
Just wondering,
