Though about 7 years old, the high level of expandability on these G4 Macs still make them great workhorses. I had a FireWire 800 model under my desk for several years, performing a myriad of tasks, ranging from processing Folding@home<\/a> work units to duplicating CDs and DVDs to burning labels on said discs with Lightscribe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since they\u2019re Power PC Macs, they can only run up to 10.5.8, but that\u2019s all you really need for most jobs. If you can find one inexpensively, it makes a great \u201cstorage\u201d or \u201cworkhorse\u201d computer.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re glad to show you all the different options for getting these machines tricked out to their maximum potential. All you have to do is hit us up on our YouTube channel<\/a>, visit our Tech Center<\/a>, or even look us up on iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
