Hello Clemens,
aside from the RAM your system is still a nice one for these type of machines, be aware you could still get quite a lot on ebay for it, the other day I saw a G4 iMac with 1.6 GhZ go away for just under 60 Euro tho (usually those go for around 100-120), yours is a much nicer one, BUT if you're still able and interested to give it away for testing I would be interested and I'm located in Germany as well.
Sadly my test system, a G4 ibook, died about a month ago, so that was is for me. Some months earlier I already had asked around for ppc test hardware on the lubuntu qa list to no avail:

Hi,
I have a single core PowerMac G5 that I'm willing to give away.
It doesn't have the most amazing specs (1x1.8GHz, GeForce FX 5200, only
512MB RAM but a fast 74GB WD Raptor w/ 10000 RPM, a bluetooth module and
a SuperDrive) but it works fine.
Unfortunately it comes in a very large box (60cm x 60cm x 45cm) and it
weighs about 26kg.
I'm located in Germany, so I figure shipping inside the EU will be
around 100€ to 150€.
Is this machine of interest to you?
Best regards, Clemens Dürrschmidt
