Beige G3 DT
Posted by: Rodus on 2011-09-22 14:45:26
Just gotten my first Beige G3 from a customer who's moving house.

It started out as stock when I got it.

G3 266 Mhz - 512 L2

32 MB RAM

4 GB HDD (dead)

Rage II 2 MB

Stock CD ROM

I dug through my parts boxes and it's now suitably pimped.

G3 400 Mhz - 1 MB L2

288 MB RAM

20 GB HDD

Rage II 6 MB (finally, a use for the 4 meg stick from my dead Rev B iMac)

Radeon 7200 32 MB

52x Sony CD-RW, machine boots from it fine and software installs scream now.

It took me a while to get the Radeon card working but now Quake II, Deus Ex and Rune are all running great (plus a load of less demanding games) and OS 9.2 runs like a charm. I wish I had gotten one of these sooner, it will definitely be my primary Classic gaming machine.

I collected my Beige mainly for parts, but i love it.

It's now running Mac OS 10.3 with he help of Xpostfacto 🙂
