Speaking as an owner of a much upgraded 7500, I've got to agree with MacDuff here - Blue & Whites are unreasonably cheap right now - CPUsed currently has several listed, ranging from $500- $800 Canadian. In the US market, that's going too translate into very inexpensive indeed. Purchasing anything older than a B&W doesn't make much sense - you'll want to do too many upgrades over time and still not equal it. Also, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I seem to remember noting that the RAM for newer Macs was considerably cheaper than what I was paying. (Note: the following is a humorous correction do a very minor mistake in MacDuff's post, one that has no terrible consequences in the larger scheme of Mac life) <enter splitting hairs mode> However, I must say that i have a little problem with this line, > the 7300 is the oldest Mac that can run Mac OS X on an upgraded > processor. since the 7500 and 7600 are both older models than the 7300. <http://www.apple-history.com/quickgallery.html?where=7500.html> But I'm sure that's what you meant, right?
