I noticed that my PC was always running at a faster speed than my iMac, almost twice as fast using both speakeasy.net and bandwidthplace.com speedtests. The fix for me was going to System Prefrences > Network > Click Configure on...

    iMac G4 - Monitor has gone Pink

    I've seen this problem with laptops before. I'm not sure how it is on the iMac G4, but on PC laptops there is a cable that goes through to the lcd screen. If one of the connections comes loose or breaks, it can cause one or more of the colors to drop out.
