Just insert the install DVD, use secure erase on the drive with write zeroes, then install a clean system.

I've got an old working iLamp iMac that I want to donate. Whats the potential of somebody retrieving deleted information off the hard drive? It used to have a lot of Quicken data on it. Is there a secure way to wipe the disk? I know in Disk Utility theres an erase feature but don't know if thats sufficient? Removing the drive looks quite involved. This is running OSX 10.3.9.
