I still don't "officially" have enough memory to run OS X -- only 96mb -- but I'm moving along pretty well regardless. Scrolling through windows can be kind of slow.
The original 6-gig hard drive in the original iMacs just isn't big enough for OS 9 and OS X, plus all the apps and files etc. most people have (especially after 5 years of loading up the baby!)...
Hard drives are pretty inexpensive now -- my computer runs faster and better with the new one.
Good luck.
Eddie

I am trying to help a friend with their broken iMac. I know that it is a Revision A or B, it is running OS X 10.2, and might have a memory upgrade.
This is the problem that they described.
it froze two weeks ago, then when i would restart it via the small restart button it stops in the middle (on gray apple screen) all noise and the little "progress wheel" stop and at the same time a big line of "snow" appears and with a smaller one below it too- i finally got it to completely start up yesterday but the screen was frozen and couldn't move arrow- tried connecting mouse directly via USB in case of loose connection but it didn't help
Does any one have any suggestions?
