Hi,
to beef up an old Imac G3 233MHz ( 2nd Revision ) I am looking for a Sonnettech HamonI G3 600 MHz Upgradecard with Firewire. They are hard to find, so please look in your boxes and drawers ;-)
Thanks,
Raller

Same your money and buy a new computer

You can buy a $250 netbook that would be twice as powerful as your outdated G3

to tell someone to buy a netbook is offending
netbooks have no style and poxy little screens
you could offer me a swap for a imac 27 "and you would not get my iMac g3 as
i love these cute iMac g3`s and you still can do a lot with them ,i surf the web , i even write now here on mine as i use it for general websurfing /emailing and even youtube watching and as itunes player its connected via apple talk to my other macs and i can even access my external harddrive which is connected to my eMac and watch divx films
so i simply cant understand people who think they need a 50 ghz processor to make a computer usable

i love these cute iMac g3`s and you still can do a lot with them ,
and even if you only use it as a itunes player it has more style then any ipod

I'm sorry I like computers that work properly and run current programs

So you carry your G3 in your pocket to the gym and on long trips to listen to music?

sorry i keep it like winston churchill and want to get old so "no sports"
and i travel only in my car where i have a car stereo , so no need for a mobile mp3 player
but great idea to place a iMac g3 in my car , have a 230 volt converter fitted so connecting it would be no problem , thanks for the hint
maybe on the parcel shelf for watching dvd`s
i bet i would look great to look on a g3 iMac placed in the rear corner when you look through the backwindow of the car there is already a apple sticker , i white one so it would match the sticker
