Hi guys wonder if you can help me on this??

my work has recently switched from macs to p.cs :eek: anyhow they have recently posted some older macs and laptops in a free draw. my name came up against a 2002 white ibook g3, below are the specs as listed by my company:

iBook G3 215 10.2 iBOOK G3 700/128/27GB/Combo-GBR 14.1in TFT 2002

my question is how/can i upgrade the o.s to a higher level (currently at osx 10.2) & what is the realistic o.s i can get to whilst still working to a realistic level.?? would i need more ram/memory?? its in pretty good nick generally and would be a shame not to make the best out of it

pls note i didn't get any start up disks or o.s disks with the machine.

many thanks in advance for your help
 
Realistically, you'll need to upgrade the RAM up to a max of 640Mb (I believe) and the highest OS you can run on that Mac is OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). It'll be an OK machine for basic word-processing, email, iTunes and so forth.
