i used a G3 450 CPU from a B&W (it clocks up to 466mhz in the Beige G3 cause of the 66mhz bus in the Beige) it runs great.

i also have 768mb ram in my AIO which alows it to use less vmem and makes it run better ( in OS X) in OS 9 vmem it turned off.

a PCI Radeon 7000 makes thing even better.

but whatch out you can easily blow allot to buy upgrades for this thing. but the upgrades do make it allot faster. it could almost hang with a B&W

i paid

$55 shipped for the CPU

$40 shipped for the video card

about $100 for 3 sticks of 16 chip (low density) 256mb sticks ( it will not work with 8 chip high density, it will only show half of the ram per stick or not show at all)

all of this was bought in 05 so prices was a tad bit higher.

plus i bought a WD 120gb HDD and replaced the old IDE cables with 80 wire ATA133 cables (which made things load faster)
