Step by step we're upgrading the old beige G3/266. This is the official Low End Mac let's see how well OS X performs on a slow G3 and how cheaply we can upgrade things computer.
It's got 288 MB RAM and the stock 4 GB Quantum drive -- which will soon be replaced with a 20 GB Seagate Barracuda. And to unleash it, I've also go an Ultra66 card on order. I've already got a G3/333 ZIF upgrade, so we'll be boosting CPU performance soon, too. After that -- and we'll be posting our findings on Low End Mac -- we'll need to do something about the pathetic video. Don't need fancy 3D performance, since this will never be a game machine. Good all around performance and 24-bit support to 1280x1024 would be really nice. Price is definitely a factor, as is performance under Jaguar (which we'll get eventually). Recommendations?
