Hi There
I have a similar set up to that for use in my room as a music and
video mac. It is a 533 digital audio i have put a dl-dvdrw in it and
fitted 1.5gb ram as it only has 3 slots, the hdd is a hitatchi 80gb
5400 rpm and i have a 64mb graphics card with dvi and analog out-put
connected to a 22" lcd running at 1280 x960 at 60 htz I run tiger
10.4.11 and 9.2.2 on two partitions and for what i use it for it is
fine. I found that if it is a film with alot of cgi like a space film
or cartoon if i copy it to the hdd first then the playback seems
better. It is used mainly for making music and watching dvds on and
like i said runs fine, I do however keep it off the net and only hook
up to do updates if needed as the net speed is not to good for some
reason even with a third party pci wireless card fitted . I tend to
use my 2008 imac or 2008 macbook for the net .

Ok the computer was built around July 2002 it has a 466mhz
processor, 896mb (1-128mb/1-256mb/1-512mb), ATI rage 128 pro video
card, 30G 5400rpm IBM Deskstar HD (March 2001), Sony CD-RW CRX140E,
IOMEGA ZIP 250... I think for now all she needs to do is add 2 more
512mb cards, 7200rpm HD, probably that SATA PCI card, and Tiger and
I think she will be good to go??? If we get everything used off
ebay this should keep the price under $100, I already have the
Tiger disc... She has a HP 23" monitor from the PC she is using now
but I think she will have to change the video card to run that
monitor??? I'm not sure if this Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 16" I
found will be good enough though??? This is where I'm at with this
right now and it's up to her, I do not think she would even have a
problem with spending $200 because she tells me she loves this
machine!!!
466 is kinda slow, if you can get a faster processor cheap I'd sure
do that too. Hard to get a DVD to play on 466.
