I'm rather attached to my 500MHz G4, although it's starting to look a bit
long in the tooth compared to something like a Mac Mini. (The day-to-day Mac
is a MacBook Pro but PCI cards don't seem to fit in it...)

Tiger runs quite nicely on them provided they have enough memory: aim for at
least 512MB. I've got a slowly-dwindling stash of memory for G3 and G4
PowerMacs if anybody needs some. (I've got some for even old machines too.)
