[QUOTE="MoltenLava, post: 50720"] I wouldn't recommend $500 external HD for G3 iMac. For that money he's much better off getting a new computer. In general, adding an external HD is not going to speed up your iMac. If your primary goal is getting better performance, I'd suggest you trade in your iMac and get a faster one. Used rainbow iMacs go for anywhere from $100 for 233MHz to $400 for 700MHz. You can step up to faster G3 iMac, or go for G4 PowerMac. It really depends on your budget. But don't try to get a $500 Firewire 800 external drive. [/QUOTE]
