I would say that Panther would be a better solution for you and your iBook. I have no idea what it's worth or what you could get for it. Check on eBay for comparision ideas.

Well, as it turns out, me and my girl friend (future wife :cheesy: ) have our birthdays next week (we're one week apart ), so our families are gonna buy us a nice DVD player and that's it...

I'll try to sell my girlfriend's useless iBook... I'm not hoping for much... Since I can't hold an eBay account because I'm not a US citizen, I can't sell it there. If anyone could say how much they would be willing to pay for such a computer, considering it can surf the web wirelessly, compose documents and pretty much do everything except for playing back video or editing audio and video, it would help me quite a bit actually. I just need to get an estimate of how much I could ask for it.

Thanks guys.

Hello,

If you are interested in exploring a bit, you could try installing linux onto the computer. Not sure if it will support the wireless cards or not, but it may give you something to work with, and you could learn a few things from it.

Check out Fedora for PPC, and Yellow Dog Linux.

I have run YDL on my Powerbook G3 (333) and it was noticably faster than OS X on the computer. I to also agree that more RAM is required. Plus, the iBook has a slower internal motherboard / components, so you are working with those issues against you. The iBook was not engineered for heavy-duty processing that you are looking for.

Christian
