[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 375862, member: 21101"] When you say the memory has been removed, do you mean all the memory - or is the default 128MB still there? Sounds like you've been left with a shell really. Also, does it still have the graphics card? To use this machine STRICTLY has a surfing machine, assuming you don't surf sites using Flash-8, 30fps 1600*1200 animations, you'll need the following. You could install almost any version of Mac OS, but I'd recommend Panther as it's just about the best for lower end machines. Earlier versions are too slow, Tiger is a bit resource hungry. - Install at least 512MB of RAM or as much as you can afford - You'll need to grab a ps/2 keyboard and mouse of ebay - should cost you a fe bucks at the most - Get a CRT monitor, the best you can afford, but a 17" .22 dot pitch monitor from a decent manufacturer should be next to nothing these days - Get Panther from eBay... should cost next to nothing [/QUOTE]
