Would a PowerPC Mac be worth selling?

    Hi all,

    Got my hands on a PowerPC Mac earlier this year, and while I have not had any problems with it, I am not blown away by it. I mainly use it for work, and find that for my work, I would be better with the latest browsers. I can't do this on a PowerPC.
    It's not the main bugbear for me, but is annoying that some things, I just cannot do on it.
    I am thinking of changing it for a windows 7 machine or an Intel machine.
    What do you think?

    Am I crazy or not?

    In fairness, you wouldn't expect to get "blown away" with a 5/6 year old machine, would you? A beast in its day, but it goes back a few generations now. I sold one recently very similar spec for €250 on adverts.ie

    I guess "blown away" is the wrong word to use. But I might see if I can shift it on and get a windows 7 machine with the same RAM.

    It does the job,but annoying there are some things I can't do on it, which I would like to be able to. Watching Netflix is one example.....

    Will chuck it up on adverts I think.....

    Here’s a quote from the web (I made a guess that your machine would have a 150 GB HD and a Superdrive)
