I have a revision 1 B&W that I've upgraded to it's limits (1 gb RAM,
ATA100 PCI card with 3 hard drives 20 gb, 40 gb and 80gb, internal
Zip drive, LG DVD/CD-RW Combo drive and 900Mhz Powerlogix ZIF
processor, USB2 and additional Firewire PCI cards and Radeon 7000 PCI
video card). It runs Tiger quite well and I expect to get many years
use out of it yet.
A stock machine could run OS X quite well, though I do recommend the
processor upgrade if you can afford it. Try and get a revision 2
machine as the revision 1s had ATA bus corruption issues (I got
around this with the ATA PCI card. All of my hard drives are
connected to it.

Hey folks:
I'm wondering if anyone has hands-on experience with OSX performance
on a
B&W G3 (300mhz, 350mhz, etc.). I'm looking at doing an el cheapo
upgrade to
my wife's imac G3/300, which is pretty poky with OSX. (I need a PCI
slot to
add a wireless card to it)
Any feedback on performance on a B&W would be great.
And, on a side note, if anyone has a G3/G4 bare bones that they want to
offload cheap, let me know. :-)
Thanks!
Lincoln
