The iMac line of devices from apple introduced in 1999 which was also the period that the internet was developing and catching up on everybody. Apple used that as a means to propagate their innovative design which unlike most of the other computers then did not have an external Central processing Unit. This was also one of the first devices of its time to incorporate the now common USB port while simultaneously leaving out the popular floppy disk drive a mark that the iMac was certainly futuristic which was also communicated in its ice-bondi blue color.
The device was built with 6.0 GB EIDE hard drive storage.
The iMac had a 15 inch “crystal clear” CRT display with a 13.8 inch viewable area.
The iMac had MAC OS 8.5.1 pre-installed on it. The processor that powered the computer was the 266 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor. Some versions had the ATI Rage IIc graphics processor that used 2 MB of VRAM while others had the ATI Rage Pro Turbo graphics processor that used 6 MB of VRAM.
The device was built with a 512k backside level 2 cache and with a RAM of 32 MB.
Although the iMac came with 32 MB of RAM it could be upgraded to up to 512 MB of RAM.
The Operating System of the iMac can also be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS 8.5.1 up to MacOS X 10.3.9.
