Best Upgrades For iMac G3 SE Graphite 600 Mhz??
Hello I just purchased an iMac G3 Graphite because I have never owned a Mac and I wanted to ease into the process. By the time I graduate in 2 years I hope to be an official Mac lover and own a much more recent and powerful system. But for now I was just wondering what I could to do to make my G3 the best it could be?
Here are the complete specs:
Apple iMac G3 SE Graphite
600 Mhz
384 MB RAM
40 GB HD
Slot-Loading DVD-Rom
Airport
Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8
(Please let me know if any other specs are needed)
I was planning on upgrading the RAM to 1 GB and also purchasing some kind of 7200 rpm HD to speed up the machine. Is there anything else that would make this Mac more powerful or more enjoyable? I heard you can upgrade the processors on these things, but I have no clue which ones would work with it and how high the cost would be.
Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated!

I found a good deal on ebay that ends shortly and I just wanted to double-check that these sticks would work in my iMac:

Congrats on going Mac. Take advantage of these forums. You will find them friendly and helpful.
Are there any suggestions for which 7200 HD is the best for my system? I do not plan to store very much on this computer so I probably would only go for one around 80 GB. What company makes the best HD's and what site could I find them at the best price?
Thanks again for the speedy replies!
