It is a 2005 1.8ghz PPC with 1gb RAM.
Our school had a firesale and they flogged 18 of the buggers in 20 minutes, via email, one per customer!
My School IT man stripped it, and set it up with leopard. I only bothered downloading Senuti (I have a classic with 98 gig of WAV audio on it) and libreoffice, as the wife likes to print off houses we can't afford (the free canon pixma is another story).
I have been impressed that such an old machine starts up in 25 seconds, runs quiet, and surfs quicker than my 2gb 2009 work HP laptop.
I may have access to an identical unit (for another whopping $10) and am thinking about upgrading the RAM to 2gig (pretty easy on these machines) and running it as a music server via my usb dac, just for fun.
It's my first mac.
