It took some doing, but once everything was in place there were only two obvious shortcomings: power management was largely nonexistent and wireless didn't work. Otherwise, it was fine. I suspect that, speed aside, your PowerMac will perform just fine. If you plan to run X, extra RAM would probably be a nice addition. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com
