Here is a good deal i found on apple website

iMac G4 800MHz/256MB/60GB/CDRW/DVD-R/Enet/56K/15" - Refurbished

for $1099

can someone tell me if that means it has a superdrive... it seems odd that they wrote it that way... it how fast is it in that model.. only 2x?

"DVD-R" means it has a Superdrive, and it will be a x1 speed model only.

If it had said "DVD-ROM" then it would have been a Combo drive model.

This sounds like the top spec model from the iMac range when it was first released in Feb 2002 (the same model I have).

It wont have - Audio In, Video Out, Airport Extreme.

I hope that helps,

Ian

The superdrive in the 800 MHz 15" iMac is a 2x unit.

Also, it doesn't have audio-in or Airport Extreme, but it does have video out. Video out lets you connect a VGA monitor and mirror the built in display, so it can only do 1024x768, 800x600, or 640x480.

2X dvd-r. But you could always drop in a 4X and sell the 2X.
