Hey all,
I'm new to Macs, completely new, Ive only played around on other people's but through advice from a friend I bought this Mac (Apple Mac G3 Base 350Mhz/256Mb/8Gb/CD/ZIP - Tiger OS on eBay, also, PowerMac, Apple Macintosh, Computing (end time 06-Mar-09 23:37:33 GMT)) The PowerMac G3 350Mhz and now I intend to upgrade it, a lot. I have upgraded PCs before and understand what goes where but I was wondering about Macs as the hardware is different. I was wondering what Harddrives I can use and if there's a maximum capacity. Secondly is the drive, I need to replace CD Driver with a DVD+/- Writer and finally PCIs, probably just a USB 2.0 card and Finally can I use any keyboard or is it Mac Keyboards only. Would my Logitech wireless usb keyboard work.
Sorry for all the basic questions but Ive never used a Mac like this before and I don't want to add components that won't work. RAM is fine as there is an option to upgrade the RAM so somebody else can do that.
Any help appreciated.
