I'm looking at getting a powermac g3. I don't know anything about them and want to know what to look at when I go to look at it... what to expect to pay and what to ask.. any help would be appreciated.
First question I'd have is why? What do you want to use it for?
G3s are ok but they are rather old. Apple History list historical specs for all Macintosh/Apple systems and you can search based on processor if you wish.
its like this... I've found one in the paper for bout a hundred bucks... guy got it from a surplus auction from a school... theres some updates and according to my searches, it can be updated a lil more... say it's a 233 mHz... is it possible to compare that to a pc for performance... I'm more or less a tinkerer and thats the main platform I haven't played with not counting sun... I like playing with old equipment.. nostalgic I guess... from the days of atari and all that
