Hi Everyone,

As the title says I have just been given an iMac, its my first time to try out Macs so I need help.

I would like to do a clean install on this machine as the guy I got it from hasn't deleted his cookies and history etc.

The details I can find are:

Model: iMac
CPU type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number of CPUs: 1
CPU speed: 700 MHz
L2 Cache per CPU: 256kb
Memory: 768MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM version: 4.3.3b3

System Software overview:

System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7w98)


Can anyone advise what software I should put on it.

Many thanks

The egg shaped one? I had a couple of them, I think u might be able to get tiger 10.4 on but I'm thinking u need a hardware upgrade from the apple site - it's been a few years!

Also it might only have a cd drive, i had to get a copy of tiger on 4 disks from torrents, but if u remove all the fonts/printer drivers u only need disk 1 & 2
 
defo takes tiger, installed it on a blue imac recently,
you can open the back end and upgrade the ram also
sounds like u have a 512 and a 256, so will speed you up a little
