G4 1.42 Dual — #6

^^does it have the LC040 or the full 040 with FPU. I'd stick it in the CC, the speed boost and extra RAM will make it a sweet little machine. As for the OP's question, the 9700 i…

Also, $35 for a DV is pretty good. Did they mention the speed? See here: http://www.lowendmac.com/profiles.htm

Well written 68000 should happily run on an Power PC running Mac OS. I have happily run 68k programs on System 9.2 under Tiger.

iBook G4 Speakers - Opinions — #5

I can't speak for the G4 iBooks, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the speakers in my Lombard, and in G4 Powerbooks - the "Small Speakers" EQ setting in iTunes helps a lot.
