Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
Ugrade the ram, went from 64 to 512 with some old 256mb dimms. Then you'll probably have to update the firmware then you can add OSX if you want. I did it with a ruby red slot loader and no Mac experience at all.

Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
Well, remember the Bondi has a lower RAM limit, probably 256, but you might check on your model number to see if it's a Rev.A or Rev. B. But yes, you'll want to update the firmware, otherwise you'll totally destroy it trying to install OSX. We accidentally did this to a Blueberry slot-loader. You can get the firmware update from the Mactracker app. (Or you can get it from Apple I think) -Elliott On Jul 27, 2009, at 6:38 PM, Mike Audia wrote: Ugrade the ram, went from 64 to 512 with some old 256mb dimms.

Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
So How do I get the firmware number and then update it? Cyrus, you successfully dual booted this machine? 10.4.11 ran ok for you? It has 6 MB Video RAM n it Cyrus Griffin wrote: Well, remember the Bondi has a lower RAM limit, probably 256, but you might check on your model number to see if it's a Rev.A or Rev. B.
