What’s the latest OS and browsers for my iMac?

Wednesday, September 20, 2006 / Hardware, Mac OS X, Software

I purchased 2 iMacs from PowerMax a couple of years ago and want to know what the latest OS and browser I can easily install on these two machines to upgrade them. Thank You.

The most recent OS that will work on your iMacs is 10.3, which will come with the Safari web browser, although you may also want to use the Firefox browser. In order to run Mac OS X 10.3 you will have to upgrade your RAM up to 256MB. On those computers it would be easer to get help installing RAM from a local service center than doing it yourself. You can do it but tray-loading CD iMacs are a little difficult to open up. Here is a link to instructions on installing RAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43012).Have fun with those upgraded iMacs.
