What to do with G3 233 MHz Blue & White PowerPC
![[ssteve]](/webx/?30@@1)
ssteve - 03:32pm Jun 17, 2008 PSTCan anyone tell me if it is worth putting OSX 10 on this machine. It has 32mB SD RAM and 4GB hard drive. Would it be adequate for at least email and web surfing, or should I just get rid of it somehow? Thanks.

He probably means an iMac rather than a mini-tower, but incidentally the Gossamer 233MHz beige minitower did have some color: a Bondi-blue button on the top to release the side panel.

Re: What to do with G3 233 MHz Blue & White PowerPC
I'm not sure which Mac ssteve actually has, but he might try going to
< http://support.apple.com/specs/>
and entering the serial number in the search field. As for running Mac OS X on an older Mac, I had Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) running on a PowerBook G3 Series "Bronze Keyboard" (amazing how Apple names its products sometimes) with a 333Mhz G3, 384MB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive. As I remember, Mac OS X 10.3 was usable on this Mac, but noticeably slower than 10.4 (Tiger) runs on my PowerBook G4 (1.33GHz, 1.25GB, 250GB) for example.
