I still miss my bondi-blue IMac 233, rev B, that I used to use - set it up for a friend after I upgraded to my IMac. I also had the RAM maxed out, and I liked 8.6 better than when I upgraded to 9.
I found that the with the extra RAM, my 233 would run a lot of games that it wasn't supposed to run, such as Bushfire.
