Getting Full Performance out of your PPC Mac

Put the Power setting on : Better Performance

This will make it so your Mac will speed up fans before slowing down the processor, and this shouldn't cause a huge increase in fan noise. If it does I would recommend downloading a fan controller like this:

Mac Repair Tools

If your buying a PPC Mac there's a good chance your going to have to fix it / clean it out with them being so old. AND with Apple being the way they are you will most likely need some special tools for dem silly screws SO here's some options I found that are pretty cheap and get the job done. 

Silverhill 20 Piece Tool Kit for Apple Products  14$

iFixit 54 Bit Driver Kit 30$

For things like Mac Mini's you might need a thing object to lift up the case, you can buy things that do the job from ifixit BUT it's a lot cheaper to buy a guitar pick that works just as well, AND is also a fine tool for playing a guitar k thx bai 

The first option also comes with a suction cup BUT here's an alternative :

What can PowerPC NOT Do?

Most people thinking about buying PowerPC Macs know that they are not going to be perfect at everything. But they usually don't know exactly what there not great at. SO having used a PPC Mac for a while now heres some things that they suck at, that if you need in a computer I would reccommend trying to find another option.

Flash

There are work arounds somethings like Youtube, but for the most part PowerPC Sucks at doing anything related to Flash, unless your on a Quad G5 your gonna have a bad time.

Java

The little java things it does fine, but for something big, like say runescape or minecraft , your gonna have a bad time.

Games

By this I mean availablity and varity of games. Most Macs play the games that work on them Amazingly. Its just that your not going to find many for them.

New Applications

Newer Apps probably won't work. That thing that your really need? Doubt it. BUT there are useually older versions of the app you need that do work with PPC though you might lose some features. If you really really REALLY need "Insert App Name Here" Make sure it is compatiable with PowerPC
