I just started helping out at our Student Newspaper here in Ottawa and we're using iMacs (yayy) sadly they're damn slow.
We have 5 Imac G3 (266mhz) all of which have only 32mb of ram. They're all running MacOS 8.6.
Checking our budget I think we can afford to buy 256mb for each box($40ish for each 256 card). Since they're only used for Word Processing and Web Surfing I'm hoping this will significantly bump up their speed.
My question is: Am i right? I have no experience with pre-OSx Macs and since there will be no new computers for the foreseeable future is this the best (cheap) way to extend their life span?
cheers
