1gb memory in a g3 imac is just fine. i have 384mb in mine, and it runs great. what is the processor speed?

The video card in all of the G3's isn't the best, you'll experience some lag during playback. As far as internet goes, it should be fine as long as there isn't heavy Java-based sites and all that jazz. G3's are great machines and they'll keep going and going and going as long as they are well taken care of.

Also, this machine would be great to run iTunes and older iLife '05 applications.

it is a 400mhz
im really excited to get it in hand. im just afraid it will be too slow. even with the 1gig. ram.
