Even with 2GB Ram, it's really obsolete.
If you like that machine and would like to "pump it up", though, you might add 512MB. I have a 667 G4 Digital Audio (upgraded with an 1.4GHz CPU) with 1GB (and OSX 10.4), and 1GB memory is enough for most applications (I work in DTP with Indesign and Photoshop CS3). If you really need more than 1GB (like, working on huge images in PS), then what you really need is a faster machine, not just more Ram. :-) 2GB: Unless you get the memory really cheap, as someone else here said, instead than buying 2GB you'd better spend that money for a newer Mac (the MDD is a fine computer, although old - beware of noisy fan, though: the MDD was aptly named "wind tunnel" ;-). As I love to say: it all depends on what you do with your Mac. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
