Have they actually announced that support is available? The last time I looked into it, they were still saying it wasn't ready. I've seen G4 400 towers selling for under $1000 refurbished. A B&W G3 350 like I have was even less. By the time you get an accelerator ($300+), more RAM, and a video adapter that will do justice to OS X, it probably is better to just buy a more modern machine.
