Hey. I just acquired a new imac G3 with MS OS 9.2.2. I just wondered how to look up the specs on it. I don't know anything about Macs, I'm converting from windows machines .

I looked it up by going to "About this computer" but it doesn't give me enough details like RAM, processor and stuff like that...

All it says is:

Version: Mac OS 9.2.2 Mac OS ROM 9.5.1
Built-in Memory: 128 MB
Virtual Memory: 129 MB used on Hard Drive
Largest Unused Block: 99.4 MB

Plus I also have a disk of Mac OS X 10.4 that I would love to install on this machine and I know I'm probably going to have to put in some more memory and upgrade a lot. I'm willing to do that.

Any info I can get on this topic would be fantastic. Thanks!

lowendmac.com is a good site for those with older machines.

Check out its Vintage Mac Museum for your machine's original specifications.

To WHOEVER left me negative feedback...I'm on this web page right Now with OS 9.1 and if I click on the apple icon, the rainbow one, in the drop down menu
is Apple System Profiler...If you want $100 text book answers, call the Geek
Squad.

Mac_SK is completely right about the system profiler being under the apple logo. It should tell you everything you need to know

Mac SK is very accurate with his OS 9 help.
