Best Answer

Before Apple started using Intel processors in their iMacs they used a Power PC processor. The G3 was the third generation of these processors. It was followed by the G4 and G5. The G3 iMac was discontinued in 2003 and is not powerful enough to run today's software although it would suffice for basic email, text editing type work.
