The 8GB limit doesn't affect your iMac; it only affects tray loading iMacs and a couple of PowerMacs and PowerBooks. To install OS X, you don't need to partition; I'm running OS X and OS 9 on a single partition. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
