UGH... go back and get it.
You probably left behind a PowerMac 9600! DAMN good Macs. Fully
upgradable to a G4 processor, and it has 6 PCI slots (last Mac to have 6
slots, and one of the few to ever have that many). They sell used for
$100 with stock processors (200-350 MHz IIRC).
Grab it, buy a $100 G3 or G4 processor upgrade, and have a 6 slot OS X
runnable Mac (OS X requires the patch from XLR8 to install, but it will
work once installed).
