Apple iMac G3/266 (Fruit Colors) Specs (M7345LL/A*)
iMac Main | Ports | Support Links | Q&A | Forums
The Apple iMac G3/266 (Fruit Colors) features a 266 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, 512k backside level 2 cache, 32 MB of RAM, a 6.0 GB EIDE hard drive, and ATI Rage Pro Turbo graphics with 6 MB of VRAM packed into a colorful "retro futuristic" all-in-one case design with a 15-inch "crystal clear" CRT display.
It was offered in five different colors -- lime (lime green), strawberry (pinkish-red), blueberry (royal blue), grape (purple), and tangerine (orange-yellow).
Apart from different color options, the iMac G3/266 (Fruit Colors) models were quite similar to the iMac (Revision B) that the line replaced, but shipped with a larger 6.0 GB hard drive and lacked the "Mezzanine" internal expansion slot and IrDA capabilities.
