Yes, you are correct. I keep my glossy white 24-inch Intel iMac on OX X 10.6 Snow Leopard to be able to run both Rosetta 1 (for older Power PC OS X software) and Front Row (smile...smile).
In my collection is a glossy white 24-inch Intel iMac. After watching this, I might pull it out of storage this evening and run a few programs (smile...smile).
I have some experience with iMacs and I can tell you that to make them work well, in addition to changing the thermal paste and using an SSD to speed them up, you must check that the CPU and GPU heatsinks work well because the heat conductors (copper tubes called heat tubes) they fail and the temperatures rise frighteningly and dangerously and running the fans at maximum will not save them from certain death
Hi, actually this iMac was delivered with OSx Tiger, Leopard was released in late 2007 and not even with the very first Alu iMacs, in fact I purchased the 2007 iMac Alu with Osx Tiger and by applying I was sent OSX Leopard for free.. .
Chromium Legacy works perfectly fine on my 2006 MacBook Pro on 10.7.5, dual booted with 64bit Xubuntu which can handle even handle latest version of Minecraft
pretty sad that the one i got has a fried gpu inside (it was used for heavy photo editing and illustrating work...), i tried to repair it but unless I find a new GPU for this machine (impossible in Morocco) i'll just try to convert it into a monitor...
When something on these old glossy white Intel iMac's dies have always, had to pick-up a used working unit off of Ebay. Then, I carry both iMac's to my local Apple computer repair shop to have them mix and match parts as needed (smile...smile).
@@samcraft3 You posse a very good question. In 2023, I would never tell someone that, they should buy a used glossy white G4/G5/or Intel iMac. As for myself, I continue to use these very old Apple desktop and laptop computers from my collection because, I own versions of old software that only runs on these vintage systems (i.e. Apple Works, iLife '09, 'iWorks '09, MS Office, IBM's Via Voice, etc.).
@@transitengineer I have 3 Intel iMacs: 2x17" and 1x20" all working. The 2 17" are modded; one had a broken screen and not finding it at a fair price I opted to brutally mount a TV screen on it. The other 17 has 4GB of RAM, Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz CPU and a new screen with 1920x1200 pixels backlit with LEDs while the 20" needed to max out the RAM and a nice 500GB SSD. Its LCD screen is still very bright and has beautiful colors..... All iMacs have Snow Leopard and a whole host of nice applications.....I love my Macs
