[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1263990, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info. Just wanted to check to see if your iMac G4 meet the min. system requirements for OS 10.5. It does.:) As far as the hard drive space. "Memory" is not hard drive space..."memory" is ram (incorrect terminology).;) Yes...if you delete the previous users programs/files...you will recover hard drive storage space. Also be aware that the install of OS 10.5 takes up a good amount of hard drive space. You mentioned that 12gig of 80 gig is currently used on your iMac G4's HD. The install of OS 10.5 can take at least 9 gig (and can take up a lot more depending on the install options): [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759]Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5[/url] ...so at least 9 gig (maybe more) of the 12 gig on your iMac G4's HD is just OS 10.5.8.
