Here it is. -Kelly G'day Listers I sent Kelly offlist instructions of how to take screen shots of the 'About this Mac' window First the good news, Kellys got a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running 10.4.11 Second, the bad news, it's only got standard 1 GB DDR2 ram. 1. Kelly, your Mac should handle video fine, except you might have a lack of memory problem.. You might try the Perian and Flip4Mac Quicktime extensions tho. http://perian.org/ http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4macwmv There's a link on the Flip4Mac page to a version suited to 10.4 2. Your Mac can run any version of OS X right up to Lion. 3. I suggest you upgrade your ram to 2 or 3 GB (keeping your present 1 GB if it's a single stick, which from memory they were). http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006 You can add a single 2 GB Stick of ram for $33.99 (to make 3 GB) or a 1 GB stick for $18.99 (to make 2 GB), or even throw away the 1 GB and go for 4 GB ($64.99), all depending on what you can afford. A golden rule is the more ram the better, but you'll need to check what memory configuration you've got. To check the memory, open the 'About this Mac' again, and click on the 'more info' button. You'll get a list of details. Under 'Hardware' choose 'Memory'. You'll get something like… Memory Slots DIMM0 1GB DDR2 DIMM1 However, if you get DIMM0 512 MB DDR2 DIMM1 512 MB DDR2 then you'll need to throw away the sticks and replace both. You'll need help probably to replace the sticks, they can be hard to get out and insert.
