[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1143041, member: 56231"] The tone is probably the CRT display or the fan. Capacitors were seldom a problem with the G3 iMac line. I too have a G3 600 iMac, and it is a very good machine. I run Panther on it, because Tiger tends to be too slow. My only other 'dislike' about the G3 is video, which cannot be upgraded. Because the G3 iMac has firewire, you can operate external devices like a hard drive or an optical (dvd) drive. USB is 1.1. only, so it is slow compared with later machines. You can use a maximum of 1 Gb RAM, which will enhance performance. As stated, internal hard drive is 120 Gb max (I don't know what the workaround is). Another useful link for info on Macs is [url=http://mactracker.ca/]Mactracker[/url]. [/QUOTE]
