[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 386032, member: 26315"] If it's one of the 333 (or faster) Mhz imacs I suggest maxing out the ram, 512 MB I think that would and upgrade to 9.2.2, then upgrade the furmware if needed, then upgrade to OS 10.3.9 And give the entire machine a clean with Onyx. And actually for general internet surfing etc that machine would be quite adequate. Just a note, installing 10.3 will take ages. But it's worth it, as it rums on the machine quite ok. And relatively fast. Well for a machine of it's age. If it's only a 266 Mhz then do the same as above. But only upgrade to OS 10.2.8 And that works just fine that way. But most applications don't support 10.2 anymore. Still it's better nothing. And for either flavour you have (I'm not sure which) a bigger and faster hard drive as stated above would be nice. But not essential. My old 333mhz imac had 80 GB on it and I had it about 2/3 filled. And one thing I've noticed about macs in general. Is you can rum applications on a machine a little below the minimum specs a software requires. Sure it's not optimal running sometimes. But the app works. And that's what I've always liked about macs. And all the info you'd ever want or need about your mac (or any other) like how much memory to can have or the newest OS it can handle etc can all be found in an app called Mactracker.

But any kind of online video (eg youtube) might be a little show though. Apart from that it works fune. [/QUOTE]
