Hey there-

I'm currently running mac OS 9.2 on an Imac that was given to me. Could I upgrade to os 10.3 directly? The imac should be able to take it specs-wise, I just don't know if I would have to have an earlier version of os X already on the machine. Thanks for any advice.

hey Lapin,

you should be able to upgrade directly, the only thing i would be concerned about is what would happen to all your data in 9.2. i think it'll be ok, but you should back it up just to be sure.

anyway, i put 10.3 on a old blue and white G3 tower, which is around the later imacs spec-wise, and it runs fine for most purposes.

good luck, let me know if you have any other questions.

The new itunes is the shit! . . . ya gotta love flippin' through that 'virtual record collection'

This one is right up my ally-

First of all you will need-

• Built-in FireWire
• At least 256MB of physical RAM (but really you are gonna want 512)

And if you are planning on buying the disks at a store you will need to have a DVD drive on your iMac...

You should be fine otherwise...
I mean it is in no way going to be a speed demon, but it will do fine

But 1 question, why 10.3, 10.4 is way better!

All those requirements are cool for my machine. Why 10.3? Dunno - maybe a little cheaper, maybe a bit easier for an older machine to handle. I would like to try and find a used copy that hasn't had the liscense transferred yet to keep the cost down.

well as I am an employee--
I am always down to trade Apple stuff for SB stuff!

let me know what you are looking for!

of course i'll trade my skullwing hp for a macbook pro with intel duo core

Newest obsession! I love this feature.
