I-Book g3

[nismo1327]

Well I am bidding on a g3 and was wondering if I can something to make it faster. It has osx10 installed on it with a 500mHz processoer, 128mb of ram. If I update the ram to 512mb will it help? this is going to be my first mac....I love pc but wanted to compare which one is better.
Thanks
edit: Its costing $65 shipped if nobody outbits me lol
How hard is it to get used to a mac? I am a PC user for 8 years
can spend around $150 in upgrades

that's a pretty slow mac, but still a viable computer for word processing and surfing, light other uses too. Chances are it will get bid up to about 150 or so though (i've been buying and selling ibook g3s a lot lately)

Its not that hard to get used to, or so people have said, then again i've used macs since... well, forever so I can' thelp that there.

Just remember, that this is an old mac you are getting and it's not in anyway representative of the power apple products have today, but just to get used to the operating system and basic layout, it's not a bad idea.

Welcome to the world of mac.

Just to let you know. The G3 Processor Is OLD. Its going to be very slow, no matter what you do to it.
