I'd like to know how to increase the speed and/or size of my iMac, to use as the main computer in the house. I am currently using a PC (ew, dirty word) that is very old but I don't mind leaving it on as the server to this iMac and my husband's laptop (also PC, ew, ew).
Any suggestions on what other mac lovers would do?

You can max out the RAM, install a large internal hard drive, or better yet, as it will move to the next computer get something like a Western Digital External 1 TB hard drive. Your machine will take 1 GB of RAM. How much RAM do you have and how big a hard drive?
Here's where to get the RAM; http://www.ramdirect.com/vcom/index.php?...

Once you install ram, you can install a newer operating system. Your machine will run up to os 10.4.11 tiger. If you install a newer DVD drive, you may be able to watch videos (but don't expect too much quality) and read DVDs. You computer lacks "large drive support" so you can't install a hard drive larger than 128GB without partitioning it, so a 120GB drive should suit your needs fine. You can also install an airport card to give you wireless Internet.
