Buy macbook g4 mac os#
On the hardware side it stayed pretty much the same, but this newer iMac G4/800 cannot boot into Mac OS 9 anymore. However, in February 2003 Apple replaced the 17” iMac G4 / 800MHz with another 17” iMac G4 / 800MHz (M9105LL). This 17” iMac G4 (M8812LL) is capable to run OS X and also able to boot into MacOS 9. In July the same year Apple added a 17” iMac G4 to the lineup featuring a 800MHz CPU and a GeForce MX4 rather than the GeForce MX2 in the 15” models. Initially there were 2 models to choose from, both with 15” displays and the cheaper one with a 700MHz CPU while the more expensive one featured a 800MHz CPU and larger HDD. Here things got a bit more tricky.Īpple introduced the iMac G4 in January 2002. The first iMac G4 can do that, but I wanted one with a 17” display. That’s why I wanted the real deal where the Mac boots Mac OS 9 rather than launching it within OS X. Basically Mac OS 9 gets loaded within OS X (up to and including OS X 10.4 “Tiger”) allowing you to run Mac OS 9 application within OS X, but some applications and especially games have problems with that approach. Every iMac G4 can run Mac OS 9 in OS X’s Classic Environment. I assume it will take me quite a while to find a G4 Cube in excellent condition so I figured I grab an iMac G4 that is also capable of booting into Mac OS9, a task previously intended for the G4 Cube. Except when you look for a specific model like I do.

The Cube is still eluding me, but an iMac G4 is quite easy to come by. The iMac G4 was obviously on my list as was the PowerMac G4 Cube. As you might know from my previous posts, I am looking for some vintage Macs.
