I just recieved yesterday a computer that I bought on ebay for only $5! I am pretty excited, because I did not have a computer at my home, and was usually only online at the office. My question is: I have never owned a Mac before, and wanted to know what upgrades I should ad to the computer to have it in good shape to surf the internet. Here is what I know about it: It is running OS 8.5.1.
Specs:
333 Mhz G3 processor
32 Mb SDRAM
6 Gb hard drive
CD-Rom drive

bcote,
It's an older machine, similar to an older Windows-compatible Pentium II. You won't be able to do as much as you'd like with it, but you can still do some basic "mac" stuff with it. Check Ebay for software that would work with it (check the software's OS version requirements, etc.) and have fun with it.
I still have a really old Mac SE with system 7 on it. Fun to play with.

wow dude!don't mean to offend you but those configuration you have is quite like stone age product of computer!
but its good that you got it for $5 only!
you have to upgrade everything!
just decide for yourself, minimum people using these days are 1GB ram, 2.6Ghz processor and 160 GB hard drive.
