G5's would be best but I've never gotten around to putting in support
for them.
The G4 tops out below 2GHz. I would recommend the last G4 Powerbooks -
they have a USB keyboard. The last G4 Power Macs are probably good as
well, and can usually be optioned up with RAM.
The Apple hardware layout has a 2 GB restriction on mem size (for
32-bit CPUs).
later,
Peter.
