You could always put a PCI ATA or SCSI card in the G3 and it would be a lot better than the onboard crappy IDE in the beige G3.

You stated that you took everything out then put it back one at a time. If
you didn't do this with the RAM, try removing all of it then putting it back
one stick at a time. Also try different slots. I had similar symptoms when
one slot and ram stick when bad. Took a lot of screwing around to figure
out the a good stick in the bad slot and the bad stick in a good slot caused
weird start problems. Solid performance now that I've ceased the use of
both the bad slot & the stick.
