Hello, I have a PowerMac G4 at my house. I got it from a yard sale for $2 and it had no hard drive. I just got an 80 gb hard drive from my brother to put in it, and of course it has no operating system. I was wondering if there was somewhere I could get Mac OS X 10.3 - 10.5 for free or low priced. Thank you.
PowerMac
No where free that's legal or maybe trustworthy.
Any way I could get a restoration disc for it?
I doubt Apple still carries thwm but you can call Apple with the Serial# handy & see..

10.3 isn't really worth much these days.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
