If it's already running OSX, there's no need to partition the HD. Only
the very early G3 Macs had the issue where you had to install OSX
within the first 8Gb of the drive. I don't think that that model had
that restriction; and if you have an HD that's under 8Gb, there's
nothing to worry
My wife has a 2006 17 Intel iMac, which came with, and still has, Tiger (with
all the updates). Recently she came across a program that required at least
Leopard. So I'm thinking of upgrading her.
Can I go from Tiger to Snow Leopard directly? Do I just need the retail upgrade
box? Anything to
Joshua,
I'm with Clark --you should either go up to at least 10.3, or stick to
OS 9, which will work fine with whatever amount of memory you got in
there. As for word processors, I have a soft spot for WordPerfect,
which you can get online for free --I'll post the link if I can find
it.
Good

why, but those models definitely have that
