I have an ancient 600 Mhz G3 iMac SE -- slot-load -- that I have been
using as an iTunes server for quite some time. (It was , also, just
fine for light web browsing.) Unfortunately, the CRT/power supply has
just gone kaput.
For $40, I have been able to purchase a working 500 Mhz iMac but,
You would have to swap the whole motherboard to do get the 600MHZ processor
in the new unit. It should work, just make sure that the cooling fans line
up and are in the same places in both cases. I think it's worth it.

I have taken G3 iMacs apart before, and it's all a risky business. Some work
with each other, some won't even boot. It depends, though. A 500 to 600Mhz
board will have a more likely chance of working with it's components than
something of a greater processor frequency difference, just as long as
I know that I was able to swap a 400MHZ board into a 500MHZ case. It's
really not that big of a deal, just keep track of your screws. Once you get
them both opened up it should be pretty clear if it will work.

For example, I have tried to install a 700Mhz board on a 500Mhz iMac of a
previous revision, but the logic board I installed wouldn't boot for some
reason. However, when placed back into the original machine it worked fine.
Maybe it has something to do with the ROM or components.

Yeah at least Zeke is only trying to move up by 100MHZ. I'd say it's worth a
shot.

1. The multiple responses are great.

I'm conducting research via serial number and it appears that both
units were made around June 2001, with the slower model actually being
a newer revision: 600 Mhz made in Mexico and the 500 Mhz in Korea.
As a guess, the Graphite 600 Mhz SE was a
Lets see if I can make this clear as mud.
The bottom of the 600 Mhz iMac SE (G3) says: 600/GR/128/40/CDRW/RUltra/

The bottom of the 500 Mhz iMac (G3) says: 500/SN/128/20/CDRW/ULTRA/56k/
VGA with serial number P112513TLFB
Good info?

It makes sense. I always burn OS discs as slowly as possible. Baring in mind
the age of the macs drives, they are of a time where it was common for many
optical drives to have trouble reading burnt discs.
