[QUOTE="dgoldblatt633, post: 1332713, member: 225615"] I have a used 2008 Mac Pro that is running OS X 10.6.4. I have had a bunch of disk space issues that I just can't seem to resolve. So, I am going to back-up the important stuff and reformat with a fresh install of OS X. The question is, I have a late 2010 iMac that came with a OS X 10.6.4 install disc. The Mac pro didn't come with a disc. Will my iMac install disc work on the older mac pro or do build numbers have to be the same? I have read that as long as the version I'm wanting to install is newer than what the computer came with it shouldn't be an issue. But, is the grey install disc that came with my iMac specific to the iMac or is it universally compatible with any mac that meets the hardware specs needed? [/QUOTE]
