- G4 POWER PC MDD. 867 MHz. OS X 10.3.2
My first post as a a MAC user!
I have inherited a G4 PowerPC MDD having spent my computer life entirely on PCs.
I bought Final Cut Express 2 as this fitted the spec of my machine and offered what I need for editing. The Mac runs OSX 10.3.2 and things are fine with the FCE 2. The Mac has an aftermarket DVD writer but no software so I thought I'd buy iLife for its burning software and decided on iLife '08 as this seemed a good fit for my elderly Mac.
On attempting to install it's telling me I need OS X 10.4.9. My questions are as follows:
1. Can my Mac run this upgraded OS?
2. In upgrading, will this cause my FCE 2 to wobble or stop working?
3. Should I have gone for an older version on iLife?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
