Thanks for your response. Mactracker says the AGP will accept 2 GB of
ram and this is the 500 MHZ model and I am running Tiger on it. It
also has a four port USB 2.0 card in it. What do you think?
Thanks

I have a Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) with 512 MB. It is in good shape
and runs faultlessly. Is it worth while to upgrade the memory to 2.0
GB considering the age of the machine and it's resale value?
Thank you
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. (Oh, you must add a USB 2.0
card. that's about it)
