[QUOTE="ValterV, post: 1906663, member: 379916"] I have the exact same iMac and, though now 13 years old, it's still going strong (although with upgraded Ram and a new 1TB HD). Hence I support your decision to try to make it work. The screen is a beauty :) Regarding the OS, I loved OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) but I had to update to 10.9 (Maverick), and I stopped there. I would avoid 10.5; AFAIK it wasn't a great release. If I were you, I would try to find a 10.9 or 10.6 somewhere. Or 10.11 (although maybe that could slow it down). I'm afraid I didn't really help, but I thought to give you my feedback anyway. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
