It is fine for surfing the web. It depends on what OS you have of course, but Panther and TIger would be a good choice. Plus you would want to have at least 512Mb of RAM.

What do you mean? Are you talking about a logicboard transplant? it would probably be possible if you got one of the same model and revision, but why bother? Also, I am currently using a 400Mhz iMac for browsing, and is works just fine with Panther.

bmd, if you're talking about the deal you might do with me, you're mistaken - you'd be getting the 350mHz.

I have a 350 MHz Blueberry with 512 MB RAM and it's fine for internet surfing, email, word processing, streaming music through iTunes. The only thing I've found that suffers is video playback, and that's only sometimes. I just picked this machine up on craigslist last week. It's nice having a "vintage" iMac in the house.
