G3 800 640 megs ram, 30 gig hd, cdrw/dvd, airport 12" Ati Radeon Mobile 7500 32 meg.

I am a Mac newb but I will be using it for work, internet, digital pictures, watching dvds, burning cds etc etc.

Im looking for best performance I guess and ease of use. Some people I talk to say that 10.4.8 might be a little sluggish on this machine.

I have 10.4.8 on a G3 iBook w/700 MHz and 640 MB. It runs fine. It's not as quick as my MacBook, but then again, the iBook is much older. :)

10.4 on a g3 iBook

I find 10.4 can be a bit sluggish on G3 iBooks - especially Quicktime 7.

I'm thinking 10.3.9 could give better performance on these older machines.
