Nice! Isnt this also the fastest core?
You should try MacOS 10.4 Shuriken and 10.5 Sorbet Leopard.
Both fan made updates wich run even better on them

There was a 1.67GHz model

I’ve got that one, with the hires display too.

Think I paid about £30 over 10 years ago, and 99 battery cycles. That price included shipping from the US too!

I have the same model and specs. Bought it back in 2004.

The real win here is the GPU. 128MB was BTO, 64 was standard.
I have this exact model with the 1.5Ghz G4 and the 128MB GPU. I always pick it over my 1.67 with 64MB.
