Amilcar Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi, I'm a Windows user who will buy an old iMac G3 (my first Mac!) but i would like to run OS X, and I don't know if this machine is able to do it. Until I know, it's very old (maybe from the first models), had a G3 running at 266 mhz, 128 RAM, 6 mb of video memory and a 6gb IDE hard drive. At this moment, i'ts runnign Mac OS 8.1, and runs quit well, but I'm wondering if it's enough to run OSX ?What dou you think? Any comment or advice well be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

sailgreg Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Any G3/G4 with more then 64mb of ram can run OSX :) Not sure how well it will work, but should be fine :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/39628-please-help-a-poor-guy/#findComment-398472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted July 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2002 Well Timan has a G3, I think it's at 400 with 64mb ram, I'm not sure. Anyway, he's been using the latest betas of Jaguar and he is pleased with the speed. Wait until he comes online and tells us his exact specs.
