ibook for basic tasks

mr g5 · Mar 3, 2007

I just put a bid in for a Ibook G3 with 640 MB of RAM and 600 mhz. Will this run tiger well? All I plan on using it for is Safari, MS Office and Adium. How well will it run those apps?

Thank you,
Robert

It will run tiger but it will be a bit slow.. it should work fine for safari, MS and adium.

it will run those apps fine... certain things in tiger like dashboard and graphics-intensive stuff will be a bit slow....safari really depends on ur router and ur aiport card though.

if i were you i would just get a first gen ibook g4. it wouldn't be too much more and you would have speedier ports and connections, as well as a the ability to run OS 10.4 more smoothly.

I just picked up a G3 iBook with 256 MB of ram for only $229.00 at Other World Computers. They also have some with the same config but an Airport card in it for just 30 bucks extra. check it out.
