scj312 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I got my first-ever real mac last week. It is an iMac G4 800MHz/768mb/60gb/15"/Tiger/Combo Drive. I was surprised at how fast it is, even though it is a G4! For $180, it was a steal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61464-my-first-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj312 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Will this thing run Leopard? It is the Feb 2003 model. Core Image isn't supported. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61464-my-first-mac/#findComment-436639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pythonusr Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Err... Images take WAY too long to load. However, congratulations! I'm still saving for my Macbook, but I'm close!

Headrush69 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Will this thing run Leopard? It is the Feb 2003 model. Core Image isn't supported. I have a Dual 500Mhz G4 and I'm running latest Leopard OK. Mind you I bought a cheap PC Radeon 9700 and flashed it to work on a Mac so I have Core Image and Quartz Extreme. (Even though its only 2x AGP, still running well.) Edit: Yes, fix that image, way too big.

I'm using a program called Synergy. Where did you purchase it for that price? Flea market at MIT. Hey Meowy Leopard will run on it no problems. Nice thing btw. Hmm why does that name sound familiar.
