I don't remember what the ram is and I am at work right now so I can't check. However it is a G3. I really do not care about imovie and idvd on this machine due to the fact that it only has a cd rom anyway. I can run any of those from my mini. Primarily I am wanting garage band and iphoto from ilife anyway. So I was hoping to have at least the same version of Garage band and iphoto that I have on my mini. I know when I install OSX it will have ilife but I think it will be 06 versions. I currently have the 08 version of ilife on my mini. But thanks for the info that each of have given me! It sounds like I have joined the right group!
