Found a Mac Pro with two 2 GHz PowerPC G5 CPUs, 1 GB of RAM, and a 160 GB HDD for $220 on eBay (refurbished, and by a top-rated seller). I'm just curious... is it possible to get Windows 7 (or any Windows version at all for that matter, given the CPU architecture...) on it? I'm mainly getting it to run Xcode, have a Mac of some sort, and have a machine with an architecture other than x86.

1.0TB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA 6G 7200rpm 64MB Cache Internet Speed +/- 9929 Kbps Other Info This machine was given to me when my dad bought a new computer. I keep throwing upgrades at it and it keeps on ticking. Think I've done everything to it that can be done outside a PSU upgrade so I can run an even BETTER GPU.
