upgrading my old emac

Hi, I have a rather old emac which I bought during 2004. The spec is:


Proc: 1ghz powerpc G4

Mem: 1gb SDRAM

OS: 10.5.8

HD: approx 80gb


This old mac does not have wireless facility and, therefore, is not connected to the internet.


I am wanting to completely reinstall the system and it won't now recognise the disks that were supplied.


I did upgrade the OS but am unable to find any disks.


What I want to do and this is what I am asking all you lovely people is:


How can I reinstall the system

What's the best OS that I should use (I am hoping to use this for design work - Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign eventually)

What's the most economical way to get this old thing wirelessly connected to my broadband?


I am extremely short of cash at the moment so looking to do this as moneysaving as possible.



On the back of this I am hoping to upgrade the OS of my lovely faithful macbook from 10.5.8 to hopefully lion.


Any ideas would be gratefully taken on board!


Kind regards


Terri
