  G5's would be best but I've never gotten around to putting in support 
for them.

  The G4 tops out below 2GHz. I would recommend the last G4 Powerbooks - 
they have a USB keyboard. The last G4 Power Macs are probably good as 
well, and can usually be optioned up with RAM.

  The Apple hardware layout has a 2 GB restriction on mem size (for 
32-bit CPUs).

later,

Peter.
