cyKey Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I know someone whos selling an iMac for ?275; Just over 2 years old Apple Imac G3 PPC 700Mhz 256Mb Ram 60Gbyte disk CDRW Internal modem Lan USB Firewire Would that be ok to run things like Panther, Photoshop, and modern applications? I'll be buying it to have a play with more than anything, as a cheap way of seeing if I eventually want to spend that ?2k on a G5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Is a bargain for the price. If you don't have it, I will. Am only over the water from you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 A bit more RAM wouldn't go amiss, but, it will run most things well. It's a pretty good price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted May 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 8, 2004 That's the old style CRT iMac isn't it? What vid card has it got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman87 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 16 mb vram it should run pretty well if u give it ram. and since it supports quartz extreme it shouldn't be too slow to run panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyorange Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah add more RAM to it and it'd be a pretty decent runner I think, bit of a bargain too! :) Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 It will take up to 2 512MB PC100 DIMMs for a maximum of 1GB. Hardly a huge outlay these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
