One friend of mine are selling the Macintosh - Performa6300 cd - PowerPc.... did you recommend it? its usefull?

I know its old, but its cheap (U$100) and i want to have some Macintosh, but maybe this is not the best choice for a cheap one.

Did you recommend it or should i wait another opportunitty for something newer?

This one can't run nothing from windows? (some Macinsth can i think)

Thanks in advance!

# requires System 7.5.1 through 9.1
# CPU: 100 MHz PPC 603e
# bus: 40 MHz
# performance: XXX (relative to SE)
# ROM: 4 MB
# RAM: 16 MB, expandable to 64 MB using 70ns 72-pin SIMMs (two slots, each supports a 4, 8, 16, or 32 MB SIMM), installing RAM in pairs of identical speed gives slightly more efficient performance
# VRAM: 1 MB

# L2 cache: 256 KB
# hard drive: 1.2 GB IDE
# CD-ROM: 8x
# ADB port for keyboard and mouse
# DIN-8 serial ports on back of computer (modem port disabled when comm slot modem present; printer port disabled when comm slot ethernet card present)
# DB-25 SCSI connector on back of computer
# video input slot

# one LC PDS slot
# Gestalt ID: 42
# Size (HxWxD): 4.3" x 12.6" x 16.5"

I can't imagine how slow system 9.1 would run with a 75MHz CPU.

Save a little bit and buy an eMac or something, don't spend $100 on that. It's not going to come close to running OS X, which is the standard OS now.
