These are without doubt my favourites, even more than the G3 candy-colours. I have two 15" and two 17" - still great to use.
Don't just max the outside RAM slot. Open it up (carefully - there are good online take-apart guides) and while swapping in 1gb ram stick use a vacuum cleaner to suck/blow any dust out of the dome, specially at the top around the PSU and fan. Clogged ventilation is the most common cause of damage in these. In fact it is best to take all the components out of the dome and give it a good clean. It will repay the love.
