Why do you think you would need a new processor to run 10.4? I have 10.4.11 running happily on my PowerBook 2000 (Pismo/400MHz G3) and on my Quicksilver Tower (867MHz G4). - Maretta At 7:23 PM -0500 11/03/08, Anne Keller-Smith wrote: Wondering the best way to get a copy of this - Apple sez

I have the same model, original equipment (except new 80GB HD to replace the one which recently died), and have had no battery or trackpad problems. You might want to look more closely at the left side board replacement. - Maretta At 12:25 PM -0800 12/23/2008, Jim Scott wrote: In an effort

I would give the PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz an unqualified recommendation EXCEPT that wireless reception is frequently erratic, possibly because of internal antenna placement in that model. Apple has replaced my Airport card twice without improving things. At 5:03 PM -0400 05/30/2009, Jeff Smith

Hi - I have a 15 PB/G4 1.67 running Mac OS X 10.4.11. Last night when I was working late, I noticed that my keyboard was hotter than I have experienced before. (The hot area extends from the screen, through the space bar, to the top of the trackpad.) The PowerBook sits on a stand that
