iMac (Slot Loading)

Compared with the iMac (333 MHz), this model has a smaller, redesigned case with a slot-loading CD-ROM drive and no cooling fan. It has a 350 MHz G3 processor, ATI Rage 128 VR graphics, 64 MB of memory and support for an optional AirPort card. This $999 base model came in Blueberry only. Unlike the iMac DV models sold beside it, it has no FireWire ports and no VGA video output.
