So what the highest possible upgrade?

You can upgrade it to Mac OS10.4 Tiger, if you first upgrade to Mac OS 9.2, and upgrade the memory.

I received a iMAC G3 computer, when I got home, I plugged it in and tunred it on. Then when it was on, I unplugged it from the outlet. NOW, it wont turn on at all. When the power cord is connected to the pc and the outlet, I do hear a soft noise coming from the computer, when I unplug the cord, the sound goes away. WTF is wrong with this thing? Any ideas?

Pulling the plug to turn off a Mac is not recommended as you have seen the result of what might and did happen. That being said, try the troubleshooting steps found here.

If that doesn’t get your iMac running, you can find support here.

I mean like, can I upgrade to a newer iMac g4 or somethin i dont know i just want a new computer and i have an iMac G3 and it’s Mac OS X 10.1 but i want something better

It depends on how you value things. If you want to value something you already have, the value is either what you could sell it for, or the cost of replacing or improving it.

If you want to see the options for upgrading that old G3, look into the lowendmac site.

If you want to replace it, the value of your machine becomes pegged to the cost of a new machine (which also depends on what you want to get) less the improved performance. Cost of the new machine would also include the cost of new software.

If you have a machine that works, why replace it?

Hey I have a G4 Laptop and a G3 iMac, is there anyway I could hook them up so they use their processing power together. I know there are dual core comps now and I saw a story about a super computer being made by joining up loads of computers, so is it possible to hook mine up to get a little more out of my money?

nah

i dont think so

if u manage to do that please tell me

I think I might be buying a apple Ibook g3.

Please list good things and bad things about it.
If you had this computer did you like it?
Some links to pages about the ibook G3.

Iv had mac Laptops for years, and yes, i find it a superior product to most pcs. Its solid like a rock, has tones of nifty features like a built in webcam, mic, one piece trackpad. A great, high resolution screen. The battery life is quite respectable. It does get a bit hot at times, but hardly noticeable.
Not to mention the OS ROCKS!!!

i have an old imac g3 computer in blue. i just found it a few days ago and tried thinking if it could actually be useful for me. we have not used it in many, many years. i have the monitor and computer, but i was wondering if there are any new computers that i would be able to use with the monitor. i know the technology is way behind, but anything would be helpful thank you!

An iMac is an all-in-one computer where the computer and monitor is all one box.

They are great old computers and still work fine.

Any RGB monitor (including the new flat screen models) will work with the RAGE 128 video card in the G3 blue and white tower.

I’m asking so that I may know the compatibility with other versions.

G3 processors are the PC equivalents to the Pentium II and Pentium III processors. They’re a bit outdated. Most models support Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger but not 10.5 Leopard and definitely not 10.6 Snow Leopard.

They’re still usable in the usual light tasks such as internet browsing and Microsoft Office / iWork.

I’ve just bought a used LG1700 Slider phone with a 2.1 mg pixel camera but the user’s manual didn’t come with it (and I’m in Korea anyway – so wouldn’t have understood it!). I have a Macintosh G3 Powerbook computer with USB ports. It hooks up to the Mac via a USB cable with no problem, but there is no disk image of the phone/camera on the desktop.

I assume that a driver is required to enable proper connection between the phone/camera and the computer. This would then allow me to download the photos from it to the computer. If this is the case, please tell me where I could find the appropriate driver. If this is not so, please tell me what is required and where to get whatever is needed.

Thank you.

The easiest way is to send the pictures via pic messages to your email address.

I am looking to purchase an iBook G3 computer. Is it worth my 300 bucks to purchase one. I have been wanting to try out the Apple life. Thanks!!!
Sweet! Is Diablo II playable on a G3 with little lag? I am looking forward to playing that game on the Ibook I get

All apple products are great. If it’s in good condition and cheap (cause it’s so outdated) I would say go for it. I think with this Laptop you should consider what you’ll use it for. As long as there aren’t any heavy duty memory taxing programs that you want to run you should be ok

Try and talk them down to $250

Any answers?

I recommend posting your question in Ubuntu Forum.
