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?

How much is an iMac G3 worth these days?
Fried iMac G3- any idea what is the problem?

There’s this old iMac G3 (indigo, slot-loading) at my high school that I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. I already have a computer, I just want it basically to have one (because they just look so cute) and to put OS X Tiger on it and get acquainted with Mac OS (I’m a Mac virgin.) A few days ago I noticed it had a “RIP” sticker on its screen, so I might have a chance to get it free if the school chooses to dispose of it. However I talked to someone who had used it and he said he tried to run an application on it that was too much work for the machine, and “the screen went white, the speakers buzzed, and smoke came out.” And the machine hasn’t powered on since. Does anyone out there know what could be wrong, and if so, how to fix this? I’m a PC expert but I know nothing about Macs. Is it even possible to fix? Worth it to get that computer?

No, it’s worth less than it will cost to fix. Either get the iMac from ebay, or from this website: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Desktop-c-253_5232.html&pltid=d052ace1aa9326574d6dc908e4fb23c9
If you get it from ebay, the warranty will be void, but if you get it from the above reseller, you will still have the warranty.
Hope this helps.

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

How do I connect to old computers to make a new fast computer?
How do I make my internet start working again on my hp laptop?

I have no more internet! It says that its connected to my home computer and it says it gets internet but when i go on the internet it says “page could not be found”. i try google, youtube, facebook, watever nd it doesn’t work with anything! it says the same thing! I have been having trouble with it since i installed smart engine thinking it would protect me against viruses. (i did this because it said it was free and my norton securtity expired at the time and i didn’t have money to buy a new one). i hate how i can’t go on the internet to do my school work or look up something FAST unlike my home computer which is old nd slow >:P its a window vista btw.
It is connected to the right network and everything but I can’t uninstall smart engine because it’s not showing up on the program list to delete stuff I tried to force it to uninstall but that didn’t work either…do u have any more ideas?

Step Zero: Check if you’re connected to the correct network.

First step: uninstall Smart Engine.

Second Step: If removing smart engine doesn’t fix you up, check that you’re connected to the correct wireless network again.

If you’re still having problems, get back to this post and let us know.
