You could always reload it with PPC Linux if you want to 'modernize' it,

could get out of them. Up to 160 watts at idle and 950 watts or more
running full bore for the Quad. I guess it depends how much you like to
pay per month on your electric bill. :)

Odd, I seem to manage okay on this dual 2.5 with Tenfourfox - ebay,
quora, twitter, etc.

But then again, the modern Web has higher CPU
demands than you might
expect.
eBay, in particular. A 2GHz dual G5 is now too slow to be useful to
browse a
category even with TenFourFox due to Javascript bloat. I get through a
page or
two and give up in disgust.
