Can you download games, example like minecraft and play them?

[adric22]

@41jsparks - If the games are made around the same time as the computer... In this case around 2003, then sure.. A game from 2011 is unlikely to work well or at all.

Hey I know this is a old video.. but what is the maximum office suite supported with the g3? Also would you still recommend one for taking notes in class?

[adric22]

@aNESgamer - I think you can actually run MS Office 2008 (it is going to be slow) and the most modern version of Open Office would probably work (also very slow) But if you want to take notes, just use the built in text-edit program.

Nice video, My laptop failed so i been using my g3 ibook (700mhz model with some upgrades, like dvd burner and 640ram, 60gb hdd) for *almost* anything, programming, browsing and stuff. Just curious, what software did you use for screen capture?

Nice review!

Btw what is the song in the background?

@aNESgamer if your just taking notes a G3 would be ok but if your buying an old mac you might as well just get a G4
