What language do you prefer? It looked pretty good for not being your native language.
#1 Tech specs can be seen on http://www.lowendmac.com/power/curve.shtml You should have 4 slots for video memory (up to 2 meg?). They may or may not be full. This is a motherboard video (both the db15 mac style and db15 vga style) unless you have another card installed.
#2 40Mhz
#3 NO! Mac memory in older/clones is 5v. Newer 3v SDRAM will not work. check ebay or www.datamem.com
#4 Firmware is not upgradeable (no open firmware)
#5 You may be able to do a linux network install, but not Mac os9 or earlier (to my knowledge)
You will UNLIKELY be able to boot with and OSX cdrom. Your CPU (604e) will only support osX 10.1, and you would need to use a 3rd party software solution to install it. It would be extremely slow. http://www.macsales.com/osxcenter
If the 'copy' was made on a macintosh from an original, it should boot fine. Most wintel software cannot copy an HFS volume correctly, so your copies would not boot or much less work properly. Does the computer have any operating system on it right now?
