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 mor

When I bought the eMac it had 256mb, and wouldn't run GarageBand very well, which is what my grandson wanted. After upping the RAM to 1gb, it runs pretty smooth.

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 M

All my my G4 machines are running leopard regardless of their speed. I just throw in the max ram, and it works fine for most basic things. On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 12:34 PM, Jack Suggs wrote: > I gave my grandson an eMac 700mhz with 1 gb RAM running 10.4.11 when > he was 10, now he's 12 and the eM

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I am. Modems are also great back up if you lose your DSL/Cable/Satellite. There are some very, very good modems still being made. Just my two cents. Peace, Virgil Fritz. _AllnightVi@aol.com_ (mailto:allnigh...@aol.com) In a message dated 11/8/2011 8:2

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
