Hey everybody,
I'm new to the forum. I have an old G4 Mac mini running Panther that I want to upgrade. I assume that the most I can do is install Leopard, and so long as I buy the full install, I don't have to update to anything else first (i.e. Tiger).
Is this true? Is it worth it to upgrade?
This isn't my main machine (I also have an intel Macbook) but I like to have a second machine around and I might try to hook up my mini to my TV to be able to watch programs downloaded on iTunes.
I also want to share the iTunes libraries between my two machines and right now I'm not able to do that with Panther on my mini.
Here are the specs of the mini:
Machine Model: Mac mini
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.9f1
Thanks!
