i'm gonna go silly upgrading it.. i want to get a 1ghz proccessor, ATI Radeon 8500 (i might want to go to 9000, but i dont know how much thats gonna cost) and i want to up the ram to a gig or whatever 512+256 is....

If the computer you are buying has Panther already loaded cool. If not, I would highly recommend getting Tiger instead. Tiger is more refined than Panther. If you want to/ go to www.mactracker.ca/. Download this freeware. In Mactracker is a firmware update you can download that you need I THINK (not sure) to run Tiger. Print the READ ME directions in the firmware update before you begin. That would be the best upgrade you can do. Next, go to at least a gig of ram. One can never be too thin, too rich or have too much ram. Good luck!

The 8500 is actually a bit more powerful than the 9000.
