I still remember the day I came to school in 1st grade and we walked in the computer lab and there were these super awesome new eMacs, and from there I had decided that I love Apple things.
@Lagomort it depends actually. Leopard shouldn't be used on the earlier ones below 1 GHz while it's perfectly usable on the newer ones from 04 and 05.

@ubiquitousfacts Ah I see. I am actually going to try and refurbish an old dell pc for gaming and other stuff even thought I have a macbook pro XD so I guess where kinda on the same page
@ubiquitousfacts the highest the emac can run is leopard 10.5, because snow leopard 10.6 runs on intel only. the emac is ppc. i suggest buying an intel computer such as a mac mini (new or used intel) if you need a spare.
@ubiquitousfacts nothing now cause i no longer have it :p. however it is being used for basic internet along with garage band and iTunes with the isub attached.
@srojtas96 actually the refresh rate is slower in this case. if the refresh rate was faster you wouldn't see any flickering. Typical CRT monitors refresh around 90 mhz and most cameras have frame rates from 1/60 to 1/500 of a second. Shooting at 1/60 where the monitor would be refreshing at 90 mhz meaning the monitor is refreshing faster, but at 60fps you won't see any refreshing on camera.
@TheDiddykong1980 No this is an eMac, you can tell because the iMac g3 didnt come in white, also the g3 iMac cant run OS X, only OS 7-9 can be run on them
@hellboy12814 Actually the iMac G3 can run any version of OS X up until Tiger 10.4.11 but it cant run OS 7 only the early ones run OS 8 and the newer ones only run as far back as OS 9. I have an iMac G3 which happily dual boots between OS 9.2.2 and OS X Tiger 10.4.11.
@GameStarUK06 I should correct my statement than, Because I am pretty sure (correct me if im wrong) but stock hardware cant run OS X, I think you need to upgrade the RAM, and the HDD (iif you want a decent amount of space)
@hellboy12814 The stock hardware can run OS X but more RAM makes a huge difference to performance and a bigger HDD always helps if you are going to store alot of data. Unfortunatly though the G3 iMac can only take HDDs up to 128GB any higher than that and you only get to use the first 128GB on the drive and the rest is useless.
@hellboy12814 You are probably right as I think some of the 1998 model g3s only came with 32mb of ram. I was thinking of slightly newer ones with 128mb that could run os x with the stock ram but of course 128mb Isn't very good for os x so an upgrade will make a huge improvement.
The Reason The eMac is Slow Because - 1. its On A PPC Cpu And is 700Mhz. The iMac is New And It Has A Intel Cpu. - 2. The eMac Is 5 Years Older Than The iMac - 3. There's Only 640MB Of Ram In The eMac And There's 4Gbs Of ram In The iMac. - 4. The iMac is Running Snow Leopard which Is Faster Than Leopard.
hey there, are your speakers on the emac silver because you removed the speaker grills or is it a newer model? i just purchased a "like new" used emac on amazon, and think there is only one model but wasnt sure. the white grills annoyed me and i loved the silver and was wondering if i could get mine like that. if you removed them is it a hard task to do?
@exsaraoh3 this is the original eMac with the Harman/kardon speakers so they were designed to be easily taken off. if your speaker grilles have really small holes or don't sound great, chances are that you have the new ones, which weren't designed to have them taken out. the old ones with big holes and kick-ass sound (h/k), yes. you may be able to take them out. but on the newer ones, you can, albeit with much more force, but I cannot guarantee that it'll come out in one piece. Good luck!
@Hp1printer2 Your eMac may be running at a faster clock speed and may have a faster hard drive if it was upgraded. The only things that were added to this eMac was 1 GB RAM and a AirPort Card.
@Hp1printer2 lol the reason why it has a flashy screen is the refresh rate of a CRT monitor, our eye's don't pick it up, but most cameras if not all do. So you really don't know anything, your eMac would do the same if you filmed it :P
@compactc9 Sorry I never got a notification about this comment so it may be a bit late. It runs nicely, about the same speed as Tiger. I upgraded it to 1 GB RAM so it's even faster now. It does have a problem that keeps the screen black when waking up from sleep, so I disabled sleep, but if it's asleep for some weird reason, I just use the key combination to safely shut down the eMac.
