Although the G5 is out of date is still a decent computer.
CrossOver requires a Mac with an Intel Core Duo processor to replicate a Windows type computer. It will not work on a G5 iMac.
The iMac G5 came out August 31, 2004 and was discontinued March 2006.
No
Im thinking of buying a imac g5 but I don't know if I can run Minecraft on it
The G5 came with the OS 9 operating system and had a Power PC processor. It was the last edition of Mac OS. The iMac switched to the OSx operating system with the next iMac. There was an education only model G5 that did ship with OSx Panther.
An iMac G5 can only run Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) it cannot run 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion). So the answer must be 'No'.
An "Intel-based iMac G5" would be an oxymoron. The "G5" part of it's name refers to having a PowerPC processor.
Yes, it does.
The G5 does not have an Intel processor it has an IBM Power PC processor.
PowerPC version of Ubuntu.
Depends where you buy it. Apple doesn't make G5 iMac's anymore. Imac g5's on eBay range from $250 - $1000 On Craigslist They're usually $150 G5 iMacs are now essentially boat anchors. The system architecture and applications available to it are dated. You might be able to get one online and maybe use email and iTunes. Not much more.
The iMac G5 used a G5 processor - hence the name. This was the last of the PPC processors that Apple used before switching to the Intel processors. It followed on from the G3 and G4 processors found in earlier iMacs and iBooks.
