Applications
The 820-1008-A serves as the central processing and control hub for early iMAC G3 systems. This board is essential for anyone restoring, repairing, or building a complete iMAC G3 unit from components. Early iMAC models from the late 1990s are valued by retro computing enthusiasts, education institutions maintaining legacy systems, and collectors. The PowerPC G3 processor was a landmark step in Apple's transition from 68k architecture and represents an important chapter in vintage Macintosh history. These boards are increasingly difficult to source as original iMacs age, making quality replacements valuable for preservation efforts.
This Apple 820-1008-A HV-Lite main logic processor board for the iMAC has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was recovered from a working environment where it was previously in service. The board shows normal handling wear consistent with its age and prior use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
