Only thing I haven't sorted yet are the SD card readers.

For under $200 it's not a bad 'Mac' though as my only Mac I'd never do it since one mistake can render the thing DOA but with a wireless card swap and the right installer I have a netbook running OSX Leopard, wireless, full video, wired network, and sound. One final thought, I revisited Hacintoshes recently mainly because I had an Aspire One sitting collecting dust. so it really will boil down to just what you really need or use. It was quite the stretch to get him to use his backup Pismo with OSX because we were trying to ween him off his old Stylewriter and on to a brand new all in one USB printer. I only bumped him up to a PowerBook Wallstreet because he had all his work on legacy sw such as Claris Works and MacWrite plus needed French sw. We have a friend who is a writer and up until recently he was using a Mac Classic since that was all he needed. * I seem to recall swapping in a FW MB into a non FW iMac once and I don't recall a noticable performance difference between the 450MHz and the 600MHz iMacs in my collection. It is true that you could be chasing bad money with good but then the iMac was a pretty neat Mac and the slot loaders were a bit better than the originals.
Your iMac probably has the Harmon Kardon speakers so with an iSub you can have a pretty nice sounding Mac though the built in speakers on their own sound pretty good. Re memory, I run 2X512 in the iMac G3's in my collection mostly using PC133 memory since that was what I had a lot of so it may just be that that installer had a bad strip of memory or the wrong type such as ECC found on servers.

I did a look back at XpostFacto and that may be more work than needed since the only real issue is that your iMac doesn't have FW while that app was created to install OSX on Macs that could not run any version of OSX at all.

There is also some info here on the topic.ġ0.4: Install Tiger on older unsupported Macs - Mac OS X Hints Seems to me that was how I installed Tiger on one of the iMacs in my collection. then just slip that drive into your non FW iMac. I'm sure someone on here has such a beast. It occurs to me that you can do the Tiger installation even easier, just install it from an iMac that has a FW port. I think I'm like K2ACP in that I do it because I can. Part 2: YouTube - iMac G3 Upgrade: Part Two

TheCreativeOne`s upgrade video (circa 2007) part 1: YouTube - iMac G3 Upgrade: Part One What I understand is that first you need to do a fresh install of OS 9, update, THEN you install Tiger over that. Also your firmware has to be up to date, which I read can only be done by updating OS 9. Apparenly you need a Firewire port for some reason to do so.
I want to isntall OS X Tiger on this biatch. Finally, the optical drive- which one should I get? The iMac G3s drive is a CD-ROM drive, I was looking to buy a good, compatible DVD drive that could also burn at least CD`s. I was looking to buy 2x 512MB Kingston PC100 RAM. Also, I`ve read that the max amount of RAM it can take is 2x 512MB PC100 RAM, however in TheCreativeOne`s video it did not work at all. Any ideas? So, I decided I`m going to buy and install a 120GB PATA WD Blue Caviar drive. On TheCreativeOne`s youtube video of him upgrading his iMac G3, he said that the maximum HD size is 120GB, don`t know if that is accurate or not. It says that it takes Ultra ATA, which I think is the same as PATA. I searched it up on everyMac and found out that the HDD, RAM and Optical Drive can be upgraded. I recently bought an iMac G3 slot loading Blueberry (even though it`s more green than blue). Hello fellow ehMacians, I have an even bigger dilema than desiding between a wired keyboard and wireless.
