Anyone got a link to a site that helps people who know nowt about Macs

I've got OS X 10.4 coming this morning will this be a big improvement over the the OS I'm using at the moment.

Also Ive got a Nvidia 7900 agp Graphics card any idea if this will run in my system.

Drop the Firefox dmg file you downloaded into the applications folder.

I recently moved from PC to Mac and everything does become clear, without having to do loads of reading.

I believe you will need an original Apple graphics card for it to work, you cannot just put any graphics card in (certainly not on later Macs).

I would advise you fill up your G4 with as much RAM as it will take, otherwise I think you may be a little disappointed with performance.

Its took me a while to make the switch to Mac but I find it so much better than Vista ever was.

Is it worth my getting a virus checker and any recommendations ?
