It sold for US$1,299, and shipped with Mac OS 8.1, which was soon upgraded to Mac OS 8.5. The iMac was continually updated after its initial release. Aside from increasing specifications (processor speed, video RAM and hard-disk capacity), Apple replaced Bondi Blue with new colors. In Mac OS High Sierra, you can shorten a Live Photo, mute its audio, or extract a single frame to use as a still photo. Photos can also suggest a “boomerang” segment (bounces back and forth.

When I began Low End Mac ten years ago, there were no G3 Macs. WhenApple introduced the first G3s, which were about 50% more efficientthan earlier PowerPC 604e CPUs, everyone was excited.
When Apple releases Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in October, therewill be no support for G3 Macs.
The first G3 Macs, the PowerBook G3 and beige Power Mac G3, wereintroduced in November 1997. The 250 MHz PowerBook G3 was the world'smost powerful notebook, and the 266 MHz Power Mac G3 held its ownagainst the Power Mac 9600with a 350 MHz 604e CPU.
The last G3 Macs, the 12' iBook and 14' iBook, were discontinued inOctober 2003. The fastest G3 Macs were those upgraded with a 1.1 GHzPowerForce upgrade (recently reintroducedat 1.0 GHz for US$140).
The best selling G3 Macs were the iMacs, which took the market bystorm in 1998, going through two major versions and numerous revisionsbetween the 233 MHz Bondiblue iMac of August 1998 and the 700 MHz iMac that was phased outin March 2003.
The question is: What does the future hold for G3 Macs?
Today we'll look at G3 Power Macs.
Rolled out on November 15, 1997, the first generation Power Mac G3put a 233 MHz or 266 MHz G3 processor in either a minitower or afull-sized desktop enclosure. Because the G3 was so much more powerfulper MHz, it replaced Apple's vastly flexible, expandable Power Mac 7300, 8600, and 9600, although the 9600 remainedin the line for several more months for those who needed dualprocessors or more than three PCI slots.
Therewere two different motherboards and three different ROM versions usedby the first generation beige G3. Rev. 1 motherboards and Rev. A ROMsdon't properly support slave drives under the Classic Mac OS. Rev. 2motherboards, which came with Rev. B or C ROMs, don't have thisproblem.
There was aPower Mac G3 All-in-Onethat included a 15' multiscan display. It's an odd looking beast,earning the nickname 'molar' by many who have seen it. It's big andheavy, but it has the same expandability as the modular models.
Apple introduced a revised beige G3 with a 300 MHzCPU in March 1998, followed by relatively rare 333 MHz and 366 modelsin August. Being a newer model, there was no issue with slave drives.(That said, if you're buying a used G3/333 or 366, be aware that itmight be a Rev. 1 model with a CPU upgrade.)
Not being a thoroughly modern design, it suffers from the same8 GB restriction as the WallStreet PowerBooks and Rev. A-D iMacs.That is, if you want to run Mac OS X on a beige G3, if it'sinstalled on the internal IDE bus, it must be on the hard drive's firstpartition, and that partition must be under 8 GB in size.
The best feature of the beige G3 is the ZIF socket that holds theCPU. It's very easy to remove the G3 processor and plug in a faster G3or even a G4. It takes some adjustments to theJ16 jumper bank to change support for faster CPUs by adjusting thesystem's bus speed and the CPU multiplier, but it's not hard to do.
The beige G3 has an EIDE drive bus that supports 16.67 MBpsthroughput and drives up to 128 GB in size - fast and large for 1997,but restrictive by today's standards. There's room for two internalhard drives, one optical drive, a floppy (the last Power Mac with one),and one additional device such as a Zip drive or DAT drive.
The beige G3 supports up to 768 MB of memory. Be sure to buy 256 MBmodules compatible with the beige G3 - the must be built using 128 Mbchips or the computer will only recognize 128 MB of RAM.
Probably the biggest drawback this model has is the ATI 3D Rage II+(found on Rev. 1 boards) and Rage Pro graphics processors that camewith 2 MB of video RAM and can only be expanded to 6 MB.Although fine for the Classic Mac OS, this is severely underpowered forOS X.
To address this, you can buy a PCI video card that supports Macs.The ATI Rage 128 card with 16 MB of video memory from the Blue &White Power Mac G3 is a popular choice. Newer, more costly alternativesinclude the ATI Radeon 7000 and 9000 PCI Mac Edition with 64 MB VRAMand the 9200 PCI Mac Edition with 128 MB. Another option is the ixMicroUltimate Rez PCI video card that was used in the 9600 and someMacintosh clones.
Beige G3s can run anything from Mac OS 8 through OS X 10.2.xofficially - and 10.3 and 10.4 using XpostFacto. MacOS 8.1, 8.6, and 9.2.2 would be our choices for the Classic Mac OS, andwe'd probably go no higher than 10.3 with OS X.
Beige G3s tend to sell cheaply these days. We've seen them for under$50 because of their severe limitations under OS X and the amountof upgrading necessary to make them decent OS X machines. Besidesmaxing out RAM (about $55) and adding a video card, you could also lookinto an UltraATA controller card to break the 8 GB barrier andgive you a lot more hard drive speed. Then add a 7200 rpm drive, andyou've invested a whole lot in a very old computer.
Because OS X is very dependent on a powerful graphics processor(moreso with each revision), we can't recommend going past OS X10.2 without adding a better video card. Even then, the PCI bus itselfis a bottleneck - something Apple would address in the next G3 PowerMac. Unless you already have a maxed out system, we can't recommendeven trying Tiger - 10.3 'Panther' is about as far as you'd want totake it.
Looking a head to Leopard, we'd say don't even think about it withthe beige G3.
The second-generation G3 Power Mac brought a whole new look toApple's pro line. Obviously inspired by the colorful iMac, the blue & white Power Mac G3was finished in blueberry and frosted white. It was a completely new,modern design that included both USB and FireWire ports (however itcannot boot from FireWire and does not support Target Disk Mode). Andin a nod to the past, it also includes an ADB port for older Applemice, keyboards, and peripherals.
The B&W G3 shipped in300, 350, 400, and 450 MHz configurations, often came with a DVD-ROMdrive, and used the same ZIF socket for the CPU as the beige G3, makingCPU upgrades pretty easy. G3 upgrades to 1.1 GHz have been availablefor it.
The B&W has it all over the beige: The system bus is twice asfast (UltraATA), as is the hard drive controller - and the opticaldrive controller is even faster (UltraATA 66) . There are four PCIslots instead of three - one runs at 66 MHz for faster video, and theother three are 64-bit PCI slots at the traditional 33 MHz speed. Witha Radeon PCI video card, you can even use QuartzExtreme, which Apple's doesn't support on PCI, with the PCIExtreme! hack.
One the negative side of the ledger, the B&W shipped with thesame round 'hockey puck'mouse and non-extended USBkeyboard as the consumer iMac, and it had no internal floppy drive- the first pro Mac without one.
As with the beige G3, there were two different motherboardrevisions, and the Rev. 1 B&W board can be problematic withOS X, and models with the Rev. 2 board shipped with a fasterversion of the ATI Rage 128 PCI video card. The Rev. 2 improves supportfor slave drives and addresses some drive corruption problems, so it'sstrongly recommended over Rev. 1.
The B&W G3 doesn't support drives over 128 GB on its main drivebus, but the UltraATA 66 bus used by the optical drives supportsso-called Big Drives - and it's twice as fast.
Because the B&W G3 doesn't have an 8 GB partition issue, hastwice as fast a system bus, has faster drive support, includes adouble-speed PCI slot for video, supports up to 1 GB of memory,and has built-in USB and FireWire, we strongly recommend it over thebeige G3.
We've heard very mixed reports about Tiger on the blue & whiteG3. Some people get it running with no trouble whatsoever, and othersnever get it to work. We can wholeheartedly recommend the B&W G3 asa fantastic Classic Mac OS machine and a very good OS X machinethrough 10.2. You should be able to get 10.3 running nicely, but we'dhesitate to recommend 10.4 due to the number of people we've heard ofhaving problems with it. (For those who get it to work, it'swonderful.)
As far as OS X 10.5 goes, even if you have a G4 upgrade, we'drecommend against it. There's just no way you're going to be happy withvideo performance; even early AGP Macs are going to be stressed underLeopard. We have received a few reports of people attempting to runLeopard on an upgraded B&W G3 (see Unsupported Leopard Installation),but so far they all report failure.
