333 MHz revision
The 1999 333 MHz revision retained the tray-loading iMac G3 before the slot-loading family. Apple documents a 333 MHz PowerPC G3, 512 KB L2 cache, 66 MHz system bus and 32 MB SDRAM. Strawberry, Blueberry, Grape, Lime and Tangerine are finishes, not separate generations.
Display and connections
Apple's original Japanese technical page specifies an approximately 6 GB IDE disk, up to 24x CD-ROM, ATI RAGE Pro Turbo with 6 MB SGRAM and a 15-inch CRT, 13.8 viewable, up to 1024 × 768. It included two USB at up to 12 Mbps, 10/100 Ethernet and 56K modem. No RAM maximum is set here: Apple's current regional pages differ between 128 and 256 MB.
Photograph and limits
Melonbob identifies the photo as his 333 MHz Strawberry during an OS X Panther installation in July 2015. It is not the original system and does not establish installed RAM or disk. The 430 × 420 Commons version, already cropped by another contributor in 2017, is used unchanged under CC0. Resolution is limited. Price and exact launch day are omitted without a conclusive original source for those details.
