I'd only consider an upper range G3 (at least 500MHz or more), and even that will be constrained. I agree with Valter: get a G4. They are not much more expensive, if at all, and even a mid-range G4 at around 1GHz will do pretty well (I use a 1GHz Luxo iMac G4 as my secondary workstation, and while it is no speed demon, it's good enough for most browsing tasks). -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- PowerPC inside! ------------------------------------------------------------ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
