Hey and thanks for the reply. Both machines are tiger machines - I use the emac for audio and not much else so I figgured that i'd opt for a faster os with less features since I wouldn't be using many of the features in leopard - its a g4 1.42. The harddrive is a 80gb soon to be replaced with a nice and fast 250 7200rpm.
