[QUOTE="Scatman, post: 163614, member: 13761"] Hello, I am new here, and recently got an older imac at Goodwill for $12, and it had the 4 GB hd, 32 mb ram, and OS 8.1. I have upgraded it to an 80 gb hd, 256 mb ram, and i put more Vram. I also swapped out the 233 mhz and put in a 333 mhz CPU. I then bought Panther. It would install, then send me back to the "select your language" screen, instead of booting into OS X. I finally gave up and took it to a computer store and asked them to look at it. I got a call from them today saying that the computer won't be able to run Mac os X because it doesn't have a G3 processor. I was wondering if this is true, because i thought that the 233 and up were all G3 processors? Also I've read stories about people install panther on the same imac I have with only a ram upgrade. any response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scatman [/QUOTE]
