They're not gone yet, but they almost are. Newegg still had an LG or Samsung model for about $22 a week ago or so. It's been on sale twice in the last three weeks, so I suspect they're trying to clear inventory. If you want a Pioneer DVR-118LBK (last of the Pioneer brand PATA DVDRW) drives), the cheapest source I've found is at about $30.

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" ;-).

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.

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?
