I bought a blue G3 for my mom to get online but it has 9.1.


Tiger (10.4) is the last to support G3 processors. A 20 gig drive will
work, but won't let you start storing your music collection, movies etc.

The G3,s IDE interface only seesn the first 128 gigs of a disk drive. So
no point in buying 250gig drives, 160 will do fine.
