No a DVD-RAM drive will not burn a DVD-R.

the apple superdrive is just the pioneer DVR-A03 DVD-R/RW-CD-R/RW IDE drive, and it's widely available; you can just swap out your drives.
and since when were the last gen G4's green?

You know, the green one
Anyway, I think you are talking about the Blue Tower... or the lime iMac

$599? that's kinda pricey, did you find that in a retail store?

don't hold your breath waiting for a dual-layer burner, at least a consumer version.
and don't you mean a G3 tower? the blue and white ones? there's no G4 that's ever been blue or green.

wait a second, do you mean the color of the power button is green? because i have a G4 450, and that's the only green i see.
what was the topic of this post again?

it was over one year ago, but new enough to have a DVD-RAM. old enough to not have the superdrive. 450 MHz. old enough to not get the lcd. perhaps we should start a new thread to argue over what kind of computer my dad has. i have a 733MHz Quicksilver with 15" lcd and you can eat me if you want to argue about mine
