This is the 350-500MHz machine? Single core? I'd pass. Memory is about $25/512M. I'd put the $75 toward a Dual Core MDD, 1GHz or 1.25. Last one of these I bought had 2GB memory built in, and was under $200. I see this model (@1.25GHz) for $180 with free shipping. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but this machine runs Leopard and is the sweet spot for price/performance. It only shows its age when doing a video encode, all else is great.
