System specs
For the information I didn't know I looked up here: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/index.shtml

Turns out you are right, he's got the Sawtooth one, the only gigabit ethernet ones with a 450Mhz G4 processor were dual processor ones. I think he would have mentioned it if there were 2 processors in it

System specs
AudioVayne, this might help you out a bit...

Complete specs: http://www.apple-history.com/body.ph...=off&order=ASC

The maximum RAM you can install is 2 GB for any version of Mac OS X, 1.5 GB if you plan on using OS 9
And the OS range (minimum to maximum) is between 8.6 and 10.4.11

Maybe this helps out somewhat...

Cheers for your help guys!! Much appreciated!

Tiger wouldn't install, but I have installed Panther instead. Running fine...I did want to overclock the CPU but I can't get into the firmware, and it's not really worth to me the time and effort finding out how. It's a Sawtooth board (On the net they say if the audio jacks are vertical then that's the Sawtooth board).

Running 512MB RAM
Transmac...Remember that program...If you want to burn a bootable .DMG file in windows...Transmac did the trick!

Cheers again guys
