[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1577815, member: 131855"] There are a couple of different PowerMac G4 machines with the model identifier 3.6. You won't be able to run Lion on any of these machines. The latest OS they can run is Leopard. [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/SP517?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US"]System requirements here[/URL]. Be aware that Leopard is not exactly cheap given its age. A quick check of eBay indicates that it's selling for between $50 - $100.00. US. Don't waste your money on the Gray label versions of this disc often sold on eBay. They won't work unless they are from the same model Mac as yours. The disc you would need is black and purple with a large X on it. See [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/263249-what-os-disk-do-i-need-brief-overview.html"]this thread[/URL] for a picture and additional info. While you're there give member RavingMac a rep bump for that information. [/QUOTE]
