[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1771573, member: 42497"] That is a 1999 iMac which came in a five colours, all called after fruit, hence the name 'Five Flavours' and yours is known as 'Blueberry' and was the last of the tray loader iMacs. The best operating system will be OS 9.2, which can be upgraded to OS 9.2.2. As far as OS X, you can install Panther OS X.3.9 but nmote you do need a firmware update to install OS X. The machine will handle up to 512MB of memory, so suggest looking at auction sites for more than your anticipated 64MB. It will be as slow as a wet week. Transmac will NOT work and you need to get on to eBay amnd find a full retail CD of OS 9.2. You cannot make the disc with Windows.
