Ok so I have a macbook and would like to expand and have a desktop but since I am in college I would be pleased with any mac that could run 10.4.... I havent tried leopard so tiger is fine for me... And would anyone be able to help me network them in such a way that I could set up the g4 (assuming i find one ) to my television so that I could stream music/movies from my macbook and external hard drives to the tv?

Hey neighbor, I'm getting ready to get a new MBP and sell my Ibook. Interested?

Would a g4 have enough horse power to do that?

I am interested drop the specs and a price....

Being an Admin why would you ask such a question??

Yes an iBook G4 can generate enough resolution and the framerate to do it. However it wouldn't really be streaming, you'd basically be using the iBook as a display. Now the only catch is that it has Mini-VGA. So if you want to drive that res on a TV, you need to either have a TV that has VGA... or a TV that has component and buy a VGA-Component Transcoder. The latter would be a bit more expensive but if it's your only option then you do what you have to do.

If you want to do streaming to your TV buy an AppleTV.
