My Dual-450 processors don't use thermal paste. My guess is the Dual-500 doesn't need thermal paste either, so you're lucky. > It costs less than 30$ and even has a DVD-ROM inside. I’m thrilled by > the computing power one can get for so little money these days. You get a classic PowerPC Mac real cheap these days (as long as it's not a 1.42 GHz G4 or a Quad G5). But if you really want computing power, modern AMD or Intel processors is what you're looking for. A recent AMD Phenom II is way faster than any G4 or G5 could be, not to mention Intel's i5/i7. Even i3 will outperform every 5+ year old PowerPC Mac. You'll get those PCs for $400+ and that's what they are worth. (It all depends on the configuration, e.g. USB 3.0 and so on…) But yeah – PCs don't feature Mac OS X!
