[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 764995, member: 24098"] Windows apps run on Windows, period. On a G3 Mac, you would be limited to running Windows apps on an emulator running Windows, which would be very slow and cumbersome. Modern Intel Macs can run Windows apps within a virtual machine or via a dual-boot configuration very easily, and at full speed. Not for your purposes. A G3 iMac is quite an old machine now - and Apple has dropped support for the G3 in the most recent version of OS X. If you were just planning to surf the 'net, you might be OK - but I wouldn't recommend that machine for running Photoshop, much less playing games (especially if you're talking about Windows games). In terms of raw power, you're talking about a machine that would be comparable to an early Pentium III powered Windows machine. What is your budget? Perhaps we could recommend something more suitable. [/QUOTE]
