[QUOTE="lonewolf, post: 1326687, member: 191571"] This is probably what you're looking at: [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_dv_400.html]iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading - Fruit) Specs (Slot Loading DV, M7493LL/A*, PowerMac2,1, M5521, 1821) @ EveryMac.com[/url] The full retail DVDs of 10.4 on eBay cost more than it is worth to revive this Mac imo. You would be better served purchasing a G4 iMac with software for $100 or so off eBay than buying $70 OS CDs for a G3 iMac. At least the G4 will be able to surf the net reasonably well, and can go all the way up to OS X 10.6 (the last version for the non intel based Macs). G3s are really pretty slow at this point. ie. something like this : [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-iMac-17-Wide-Screen-w-Mouse-Keyboard-DVD-RW-OS-X-Tiger-READY-GO-/200675176095?pt=Apple_Desktops&hash=item2eb92c2e9f#ht_729wt_996]Apple iMac 17" Wide Screen w/ Mouse & Keyboard. DVD-RW. OS X Tiger.
