Re: emac 700Mhz Opinium
Its not worth spending over 200 dollars upgrading the emac 700Mhz CD Rom Model. Its Probably worth getting a Power mac Dual G4 or G5 single or G5 dual or quad as a Replacement. Upgrading to power mac G4 dual or any G5 is going to work out cheaper and faster. The G5's have faster videos cards more expansion. The emac on the other hand is clutter free. The emac 700Mhz model dual boots mac os 9.2.2 and mac os x. Thats somthing you can't do on the G5's. The 2002 Powermac G4's are the fastest dual boot macs. boots mac os 9 and os x. same age as the emac 700Mhz model but faster.

Re: emac 700Mhz Opinium
1 gig of ram on an 800 MHz G4 was usable but not the greatest. However, it will be a huge improvement over 256 megs, you will not regret upgraded. However, I was spoiled by a Dual 2 GHz G5 with 6 gigs of ram at the same time, which a single G5 is better than any G4. I installed Leopard on an 800 MHz eMac with 1 gig of ram so that's how I know. I got Leopard on it by using my 1 GHz emac, connecting the 800 one using Firewire Target Mode and installing as if the 800 was a firewire drive, worked great. -- C:\win Bad Command Or File Name C:\ -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

This emac struggles with several editing apps like imovie 06 and garageband 06. You will see a dramatic increase in performance moving up to 512 megs, about half again as much moving to 1 gig. Your system is severely constrained by your lack of RAM, so you're swapping to disk incessantly, which is slow, especially if that's an older slower drive that's mostly full.

As a retired editor who never got less than an A in spelling in school, I'd just like to state that Opinium is not the way the word opinion is spelled. That's just in case someone, somewhere gets the mistaken impression that Opinium is correct because it's in print (so to speak) and thus far has been unchallenged in this thread. My opinion is that an eMac with 700 MHz and 1 GB of RAM running OS 10.4.11 with all updates is about as slow as I would choose to go with a Mac on the internet.

Re: emac 700Mhz Opinium
I only upgraded to Cox high-speed when Cox played dirty pool, raised my second phone line to $10 per month, and claimed they couldn't fix that line - to me, my dial-up had a pretty fast phone line, and the economy of dial-up through fastermac.net made it worth it - I have not been overly impressed with Cox high-speed - most of the time not a big difference in speed on the sites I visit.

Re: emac 700Mhz Opinium
The ram is really low, especially for Tiger. The hard drive is fine for simple web browsing. The CD-ROM is a big setback since most programs and such now come on DVDs and the modem isn't needed at all. -- C:\win Bad Command Or File Name C:\ -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
