I am thinking to move on from my fearless old sawtooth to a mini, but
I'm not ready for the jump to 10.5.
Why?
From what I read on this Apple page the latest models that are fully
compatible with 10.4.11 are the mid 2007 models
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 (versions no later than
MB139xx/A)
It says "Do not use a Mac OS X version earlier than the one included
with the computer."
How true is this?
Very true. Earlier releases will not contain the hardware drivers
necessary for newer Macs.
How true is it that my old cd set of 10.4 may not be compatible with a
much later mini either?
Your CD set is not compatible with any intel Mac. It only has PPC code
on it and won't even boot let alone install. The only 10.4 disc with
Intel code (I think) is a later release of 10.4 Server.
thanks! Del
