There are 4 400MHz G3 iMacs 3 have Firewire ports If you have a F/W port then
make a Carbon Copy Clone of the 10.5 system and use Target Disk
While, it is basically impossible within reason, and I'm assuming you meant OS
X 10.5. Either way, these are the MINIMUM requirements for Leopard, and your
G3 would require a complete overhaul just to run it at its minimum.

slow you would want to throw it out the window. OS 10.2 felt slow on my 400
MHz iMac with a gig of ram, so I'm sure Leopard would be worse.
