*This machine started out as a Beige G3 233, and was upgraded to G3 300 using the processor from another Beige G3 that received an aftermarket processor upgrade. The 300 MHz processor is factory original, but not on this motherboard. Some system specifications may be indicative of a 233 MHz model, but it has a 300 MHz processor.

 

**10.3 or higher can be installed using XPostFacto, but is not officially supported by Apple. Because of this, installing 10.3 or higher can cause problems due to lack of support for hardware included in this machine, and other compatibility issues.
