    There are none. A G5 Mac can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.

    You can look into adding hard drive space but you cannot go beyond Mac OS X 10.5.8 with a PPC system.

    You can't update the operating system beyond what you have already.  That is a hardware limitation.  There are ways to survive such as running TenFourFox as your browser which is still updated to perform on PPC computers and corresponds to fairly recent Firefox versions.
