I apolgise if this has been done before... would be grateful for a few tips though.
I've bought a second-hand eMac from a school that was clearing them out. It's running 10.4.11 with 256Mb of RAM. It didn't come with system disks.
There's loads of the previous user's crap on there, and I just want to use it for a music studio. Am I right in thinking that:
1. I can upgrade the RAM to 1GB? I've also read that it can take 2GB, but need some advice on that. I can do the memory installation myself.
2. If I buy some 10.5 system disks, can I wipe everything and start again? This is just a case of starting up and holding 'c', right? Hope so.
Sorry if I'm wide of the mark. I don't need much apart from a quick-ish computer running Garageband and a couple of other apps, so I'm grateful for any help.
Sorry. Another question.
If I buy some OSX 10.4 system discs (bit cheaper, and might be easier for the old eMac), do I have to buy them for a specific Mac model? An eBay search suggests that they are specific to different Macs.
Thanks.
