A 333MHz one will never be as fast as a slot load one of 300MHz, the video chipset has no drivers in OSX, same problem with the Beige G3's. The first iMacs are great 'first macs' but really do better on OS9. Also, if you get a new hard dive for it DO NOT use a 7200rpm one, they generate too much heat for the poor things! -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
