How about the one with the > biggest supported memory? 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.
