How can I convert my Dual 867 MHz Power PC G4 to the Intel Processor? The reason is, I want to be able to upgrade to iLife '08, which won't run on my current computer. I am willing to spend money. Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks for all your help in the past.

You are incorrect about iLife '08. The only app in iLife that will _not_ run on your G4 is iMovie. All the others apps (iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, Garageband, and iWeb) will be OK.

There is no upgrade from your G4 to an Intel processor, or even a G5 processor. So, you said that you are willing to spend money, so, one choice would be to purchase a new Intel Mac, and sell your G4.

Thank you, Dale, for your prompt and expert reply. I really appreciate it! What's a good way to sell my G4? I really don't know how to go about it, unless it's Ebay. What do you think?
Thanks again,

If you are familiar with eBay, then try that....
I think $7-800 should be a reasonable price... Good luck...

Thanks, Dale. I went onto eBay and found many, many similar to mine for sale around $300. Pretty Depressing!
