If it is a Bondi dont expect speed from OSX. And max ram is only 512MB. On the plus side, it is reasonably easy to upgrade the CPU daughterboard. Unlike the models after the Bondi, the card is socketed so you can get a G3 board pretty easily these days. I got one on eBay for $50 incl shipping. The sys went from the slowest OEM Bondi to the fastest(300Mhz).
Even at 300MHz though, it is not a screamer, and the latest OSX's will not run on older G3's. I ended up removing all Apple OS's and now run Linux on it. In fact if I really wanted to make it match, I could set it up to emulate the entire OSX interface. Still, it is a fun piece of hardware to have.
