[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 195077, member: 12561"] I'm going to have to disagree with Inflexion on this one. I work with an iMac G3 (DV version 500Mhz, 2x 512 RAM) that has Tiger on it. It is mind numbingly slow and unbearable to work with even if it's just cruising the internet or transferring files. The tech guys didn't ask me before they upgrade from 9.2.2 to OSX Tiger. I would've preferred to stay on OS9 because it ran so much faster than OSX on this machine. It (the iMac) also has only a 10GB hard drive and Tiger alone takes up 2 Gigs as opposed to OS9's 500MB. I would recommend getting a little more hardware than an older G3 iMac. I would recommend the "Daisy" iMac G4. You're going to pay a little more, but you'll be at the point where you can run most any software that's up to date. Plus, they look cool. :mac: [/QUOTE]
