That system is currently running Mac os 8.5 But it is capable of running Version 10.3: Panther YES, 'capable' of running Panther, but it's not easy for a newbie to do.
You would first need to update the iMac's firmware or Panther won't install on it. OS-8.5 is a very old operating system. Panther is also fairly old - a 2003 system, as I recall. Then, its puny 6 GB hard-drive is marginal for OS-X, and changing out hard-drives on those old iMacs is a royal PITA. It will also need more ram, which is fairly easy to install through a door on its bottom. By the time you screw around with it you would have been better off buying a G4 with OS-X installed. I had one of those old iMacs and I threw it away several years ago – I didn't even bother trying to sell it to some unwary buyer -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
