[QUOTE="iBeldar, post: 225294, member: 16751"] The only mac I have is my iBook, specs are on the side/sig. I would say the most demanding program I have for it is Photoshop CS-1, and it doesn't run all that bad with 256MB of RAM. Just slap in a 512 stick in place of the 128 and it will be a fairly fast machine. I wouldn't reccomend getting Tiger on a G3, it would run slow, but Panther is just fine, and all you're really missing is Spotlight and Dashboard, basically pointless stuff to take up space. If you want the widgets, just get the Yahoo Widgets program. It doesn't have built in bluetooth for phones and stuff, but you can get a USB Bluetooth Device for cheap, and Panther comes with iSync. The only thing about the G3 that I don't like is the 10GB hard Drive, but sometime this summer I'll buy a bigger HD for it. [/QUOTE]
