[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 973436, member: 56231"] That's a 2000 iMac, ruby, but its processor speed could be any one of four possibilities. It was originally issued with OS 9.0.4 [source: Mactracker]. If you don't have the original OS disk issued with the machine, you really need to search for an OS 9 retail disk. They're still available, but be patient, and, if you're really keen on getting the G3 iMac going again, advertise. Your other option is to search out a Panther (10.3.9) retail install disk (black colour). Your iMac will run that OS, especially with maximum RAM of 1 Gb installed. You can boot from the Panther disk, install the OS (which includes OS 9 - Classic) and you have an upgraded iMac. [/QUOTE]
