Google probably knows. Try PMing him. If he's offline then try his website.

PC 100/133 ram probably.. I won't bother running OSX on these computers, OSX is extremely bloated and slow on these machines even with 768MB of ram, it's absolutely insane that an operating system can't run smoothly with 768MB of ram... :roll:

waste of $$$

I'd load Debian PPC Linux on it. I have it on an old Mac clone of mine and it runs pretty smooth.

Those original Imacs are slower than a 486. Have fun!

Yeah, because more ram makes the 266mhz processor faster. I mean, a 386 will run XP fantastic if you put 768megs of ram in it. :roll:

I'd stick more RAM into it and sell it to a student.
