Hi all, I am looking for some advise and the general "lowdown" on the various early G3 iMacs. I hope to purchase one but before I do, I figured that it would be best if I ask people who know more about them. Based on the information below, which iMacs should I consider? (I do not want to spend too much money on this system so I am expecting it to be around 500 MHz or less.)
Use: I want this as a "secondary" OS X machine and would like to use it for mild Photoshop, a few 3D games (like Myst III: Exile, which reportedly runs fine on any iMac), websurfing and general applications. Things don't have to be blazingly fast by any means but I don't want to be frustrated by poor performance. Stability is a must. Upgrades: Maxing out the RAM is definately a first on the list of things to do. Also, do iMacs accept any newer ATA drive? Do they benefit from faster ATA/133 drives and 8MB cache models? Ports: Firewire would be nice but I could certainly live without it. Which iMac(s) would be best for me? Anything I should know? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
