[QUOTE="frail, post: 122667"] So I decided to venture over into the Mac world. Been wanting to for some time but couldn't really afford the hardware that I wanted. So I just decided to get something affordable off of ebay for the time being until I can afford something I really want. So I ended up getting a Blueberry iMac G3 333. It has a 10gig hard drive and 128MB of RAM which I will be adding another 128MB to. So naturally I have a few questions. The iMac I'm getting(in a few days) comes with Tiger and OS 9.2 preinstalled. So I'm curious if it would be safe to remove OS 9.2 and how that can be done. Adding/removing programs and OSes etc is foreign to me as this is my first venture with a Mac. Also I read somewhere that with OSX on my iMac that it has to run on an 8GB or less partition. Does that mean the other 2Gigs are useless to me? And just a general inquiry as to how well Tiger would run on this computer with its 333mhz processor and 256MB of RAM. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
