[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 39081, member: 273"] Cooling is still stock for now. My understanding is that this is the configuration that the 266 version of the G3 AIO shipped with from the factory, so I don't think there will be any problems. I'm not sure what upgrade path I'm going to take, but I've considered OC'ing it to 300 MHz via the jumpers in the near future, and then possibly going with a more extreme processor upgrade later on. If I go to 300, I'll definitely upgrade the cooling system. I actually found a site that sells pre-made jumpers for the 300 MHz configuration, and they offer different cooling options too. :) Oh, and I have to admit for anyone who was curious about the machine's speed, I was quite surprised at how well it performs running OS 9.1 with the 256 MB of RAM and the 266 MHz settings. For everything I'm using it for (word processing, spreadsheets, internet browsing, email, etc.) it could easily be my primary machine. If anyone wants a Mac but is on a very tight budget, I'd highly recommend the G3 AIO. It's great as-is, and offers tons of upgrade options if your needs and buget expand in the future. [/QUOTE]
