"Basics of today" with 1gb of ram and a 40gb hard drive?
Yeah when I saw the 1GB of ram I thought it was impressive for this machine so I impulse bought it. If I sell it I’m probably getting a G5 machine because PowerPCs are fun and G5 machines are able to do the basics of the basic like YouTube at 360p and good word processing.
 
Did it for a year before buying a 1gig ram stick so for a year I was running on 384 mb ram with the built in ram and a 128 mb ram stick
 
I did it with an 800mhz iMac G4 between Spring '15 and Fall '16.

I was fine.
