Anyone still own iMAC 333?
I sold my first Mac, an iMAC 333 Purple that had 32mb ram plus 128mb additional under OS 8.6, to my friend before upgrading to Pismo 500 and Cube 450. I would like to know how well iMAC 333 run in OS 9.0.2 or 9.1.2? My friend wants to run iTunes and she is still in OS 8.6. She is scared to upgrade the OS because some people have told her that it crashes all the time. I think that as long as things are in line, OS 9.1 should run fine on iMAC 333...Any known facts on this?

X doesn't run *that* slow, except when running quicktime apps. Ram makes a big difference in X and the 384MB that i have helps a lot.
I don't really miss it. But it was the first Mac I ever owned. I now have the iMac G3 700 SE with 768 MB Ram and OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.1.3...no, I don't miss it...

Downgrade baby!
I might try running MacOS X on it, but first i have to buy more RAM (160MB right now).
?ATI Radeon Mac:Edition (32MB DDR)
?416MB RAM (32, 128, 256)
?60GB 7200RPM Maxtor
?24x CD-ROM
?Internal SCSI Zip (Stock)
?RCA Audio out
?OrangMicro USB/Firewire PCI card
?IntelliMouse Optical (I swear by this mouse)
Great computer and lives up to the amount of stress I put on it. Since I do so much in Mac OS X, it can slow sometimes, but By July (with 10.2, BUT NOT THE REASON FOR THE SPEED INCREASE) I hope to have all final versions of stuff (transmit, Fire, etc).
I will then clean install, and will only be running Final versions of X apps, and only the ones I need., and won't install stuff I don't use every day. This wil help improve the preformance of this computer (and no Classic @all). Oh I also run Apache/PHP/MySQL.
