The usual suspects, fleabay and LEM swaplist; you want a real retail disk, which has the Aurora on it <http://tinyurl.com/3cbrtxj>; gray disks are system specific, so you need to make sure it's for a core duo iMac. Personally I'd go right on by 10.5 and look for 10.6, at least; if that's a Core Duo system that's the top limit you can get to; and there's not much that wasn't compatible with 10.5 on those that doesn't run in 10.6, and 10.6 is a noticeable performance upgrade over 10.5. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
