    how much ram you got in that box and how well does 10.3 run on it?

    I have a 400mhz Imac here with OS9 on it, its a little sluggish with 128 meg of ram.

    Eh? Our NMR rooms and Labs are filled with G3s, they arent that old. You can hear their harddisks whirring 20 feet away. The SGI boxes for NMR are nicer though. Our lecturers use even older Macs, dunno the make/model though but there's an apple on the side.

    I have an old Apple IIe. I got it from an elementary school that was going to get rid of it. :D Circa 1984-85 IIRC. It's a 1Mhz proc I believe. :eek:

    I've got a Power Computing 604e from the clone war. Runs Unreal Tournament still at a blazing 15 fps on its little 200mhz processor.

    I also have a Mac classic which doesnt see much use any more but still runs. Good for a game of wizardry or brickles.
