Also I wouldn’t think OSX would be any slower than say running Vista on that Dell 800, and that wasn’t too bad. Does your iMac still have a SCSI hard drive? I remember the one that I messed with that was in the trash had one, which also had an OSX upgrade cd in the plastic sleeve. IIRC around the time Apple switchd to Intel processors they started using IDE drives. Then again I may be imagining that, and for all I know they still use only SCSI drives...

It's got OS9.2- Freepers upthread have said not to try to upgrade to OSX- the machine is too slow and not enough memory.

I'd have to break into it to find out the drive type because I don't know where to find that info online.

“Show contents while dragging” is what I’m looking for but I don’t see it.

The model that Perfect has uses a ATA-3 hard drive. Modern Macs use SATA drives and have since G5s came out about 5 years ago.
