[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 996703, member: 56231"] And a firewire, or combo fw/usb external drive at that - to answer your question :). I agree with MacSK, if the present internal drive is functioning normally, leave it be. That iMac was the last of the G3 line, the 700 MHz is relatively rare (at least here in NZ). By all means take the RAM further to 1 Gb (2 x 512), the iMac will run really well with that, especially if you're operating OS X. Be careful to get the right sort of RAM, not the cheap high density PC modules. Tiger is the last OS for the G3 iMac, but personally I'd stay with Panther, just my preference, having tried both with my G3 600. [/QUOTE]
