[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 907927, member: 56379"] I have a 700mhz eMac and it's actually not too bad for the tasks that you mentioned. If you stick with software versions that are more contemporary to the computer (i.e. 2002-2005) you should probably be ok. Maybe even slightly newer versions of software would be ok...but I wouldn't try running the newest versions (that's if the eMac even has the system requirements for them)...because then the eMac might get "bogged" down. I would run Mac OS 10.4.11. Also, don't expect "stellar" internet video performance (such as You-Tube)...the 700mhz eMac just doesn't have the CPU & GPU for this. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
