How to identify your iMac G3*

Determining which iMac G3 you have is more complex. It involves two steps. The first requires you to turn your iMac over so that you can see the ID label on the bottom of the computer. Printed there is the configuration of your iMac when it left the factory: you need to make a note of this. Then follow the link that matches the color of your iMac and read the notes associated with it. Once you know the model of your iMac, select from the OPTIONS drop down menu (top right) to find the part you need.

STEP 1
Locate the ID label on bottom of your iMac and write down the factory configuration of your computer.

STEP 2
Using the illustrations below as a guide, select the color of your iMac from the pull down menu.
