[question] Performance Of This Imac G3?

I know someone whos selling a;

Just over 2 years old

Apple Imac G3 PPC 700Mhz

256Mb Ram

60Gbyte disk

CDRW

Internal modem

Lan

USB

Firewire

Would that be ok to run things like Panther, Photoshop, and modern applications?

It should be fine, i have installed panther on a G3 with 250 Mhz and 256 megs of ram in my office and - altough a bit slow at times- it is unbelievably fast given its specs.

Also, please remember to tag your threads, it doesnt take much time. This is a [Question] thread.

I have an iMac 333 w/ 160Mb o' Ram w/ 10.3.3.... Works VERY WELL!!!

If it is running 9.2 already that is a sure sign that you can install OS X, also anything over 400mhz is capable.

Those specs sound good - as long as the price is right ;)

Sure is :) Comes with 10.something he said.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a machine like that would run Panther. My parents have got an old G3 PowerMac running at about 433Mhz with about 256MB of RAM and, although sometimes it is a little slow, it's unbelievably fast given how old it is. Go for it :)

Panther is installed \o/ But I didn't have time to use it this morning before work.
