The CPU in the G4 was a Power PC unit and they just naturally run hot. If yours is running excessively hot then the air inlet may be clogged.

Can an eMac run Mac OS X 10.5?

Yes. However, Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) requires an 867 Mhz G4 processor. Some of the older eMacs do not have a processor this fast, and so cannot run Leopard without third-party workarounds.

Mac OS X 10.3.9 is nearly five years old (which is a long time in computer operating system years) the current version of Mac OS X is 10.5.7. The minimum requirement for the latest version of the Safari browser is 10.4.11. To update your browser you will need to update your version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) will work on an iBook G4.

You should be able to find a G4 iBook for under $500 with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Apple requires at least a G4 (867MHz or faster) processor with 512MB of memory to run Leopard - so anything above that will be fine.

Does an apple power book g4 have wireless internet?

There were several versions of the G4 PowerBooks between their launch in 2001 and discontinuation in 2006. The early ones did not have built in Wi-Fi support (known as AirPort on Macs) but it could be added as an option. The later models came with AirPort built-in. To check an individual computer select About This Mac from the Apple menu (top left) and click the More Info... button. If an AirPort card is fitted its details will be listed in the Network section.
