Default imac recording

I am getting ready to inherit an Imac 333mhz,128ram,6gigHD
Just curious should I try to sell it asap OR look into using it for
recording? I have always used Cubase & others on a Windows OS, not very
familiar @ all with Mac's. PLUS, being that its kinda old, didn't know if it
would be worth messing with. Seems like I have heard that the Macs as a
whole are MUCH more stable hardware & OS wise when it came to recording even
if they are a little slower mhz wise by todays standards.

I could probably get around $250 for it on Ebay. Just wanted opinions.

thx in advance!

Scott

Flog it off is my advice - too slow, not enough RAM and HD too small.
I run a 500 Mhz iMac, with 640RAM and a 20g HD - it copes with the 8
tracks offered by ProTools Free, but 3 reverb plugins and it's all over.

Also, IIRC that model doesn't have a CD burner - you'll need an external
burner.
