[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1682021, member: 56379"] Thanks for the model info. Upgrading your computers OS is not quite as simple as "What to upgrade to?". Your iMac can run the latest Mac OS (10.11). But with only 1gig of ram…it certainly needs a ram upgrade…and…if you have any user installed apps…you can bet they will not run with the latest OS version. Your OS upgrade options are: - 10.6 ($19)…not really supported any more - 10.7 ($19)…could be unsupported soon - 10.8 ($19) - 10.11 (Free) * Nick p.s. FYI. OS support for 10.5.8 was over lonnggg ago!;) [/QUOTE]
