No, it's an OS- Operating System. It's the software that boots up.
Intel, PowerPC, Pentium, etc, are processors.
If it has an Intel or G5 processor, then yes. If it has a G3 processor, then no. If it has a G4 processor, then it depends on the processor speed.
Providing the Intel processor is in an Apple Mac computer, and the rest of the computer parts are present too, then Mac OS X can be installed.
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) will not work on a Mac with a G4 processor as it requires an Intel processor based Mac. A G4 (867 MHz and faster) can run Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
I chose Mac Os because i can't use mac os
No, Mac OS X requires a Power PC processor (supported through Leopard) or an Intel Core Duo (or newer) processor since these are the only processors that are used in Apple hardware and Mac OS X may only be installed on a Mac.
Yes. However, Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) requires an 867 Mhz G4 processor. Some of the older eMacs do not have a processor this fast, and so cannot run Leopard without third-party workarounds.
Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) can be updated to Mac OS X 10.4.11 for free. Purchased upgrades then are Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Snow Leopard only works on Macs with an Intel processor. Older Macs with a G4 or G5 processor can only go up to Leopard.
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" will run on a PowerPC G4/800MHz machine. It is the latest OS that Apple will support on that processor, however. At this writing (January 2010), Mac OS X 10.4.11 is the latest version of Tiger.
The eMacs were discontinued in 2006. The earlier versions with a G4 processor running at less than 1GHz can run Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). The later versions with a G4 Processor running faster than 1GHz can run Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Select About this Mac from the Apple menu (top left) to determine the speed of the processor.
The Mac operating system has been used on a variety of architectures, from the Motorola 68000 to the PowerPC 601 to the Intel Core 2 Duo. The latest release of Mac OS X requires a computer with an Intel processor.
No. Apple only writes programming language in Mac OS X for Intel and PowerPC processors.
To upgrade beyond Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) you will need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). If the iMac has an Intel processor you can jump straight to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) but if it has the older G4 or G5 processor then 10.5 will be as far as it can go.
