PowerPC Macs won’t let you install OS X to a USB drive or choose it as your startup volume, although there is a work around for that.

PowerPC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes. Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. If a second high-powered device is attached, it will behave like a normal bus-powered hub and only provide 100 mA per downstream port. Unlike earlier iMacs, where every USB port could provide 500 mA of power, only a single high-powered device can be attached to the USB ports, and software will enable one of its downstream ports to supply 500 mA of power. OS X 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan really want the 6 GB maximum this model supports. OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks run poorly with 2 GB and improve drastically with 4-6 GB. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard runs smoothly with 2 GB of system memory, and 2 GB is a practical minimum for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. You can run OS X 10.7 Lion with 2 GB, but it wants 4 GB to flex its muscles. See our macOS Sierra page for more details and a link. However, WiFi is not supported on this device.

This was the last 24″ iMac.Īlthough it is not officially supported, the Early 2008 iMac can run macOS Sierra using Colin Mistr’s Sierra Patch Tool. The Early 2008 iMacs support OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The Early 2008 iMacs shipped with OS X 10.5.2 Leopard and iLife ’08. There are also many complaints about reflections due to the glossy display.

Gaming benchmarks measure GeForce frame rates as anywhere from 20% to nearly 200% higher. The 2600 Pro graphics processor is in some respects a step down from the Nvidia GeForce 7300GT and 7600GT in the 24″ Late 2006 iMac. The 2.8 GHz 24-incher has 2 GB of RAM 6 GB maximum), a 320 GB hard drive, an 8x SuperDrive, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics with 256 MB of dedicated video RAM, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth, and Apple’s aluminum keyboard and Mighty Mouse.īuild-to-order options include a 3.06 GHz CPU, Nvidia GeForce 8800 graphics with 512 MB of video memory, larger hard drives, wireless mouse and keyboard, and more. This was the last iMac to use an Ultra ATA interface for its optical drive. The aluminum iMacs have three USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 400 and 800 ports, gigabit ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and an 8x SuperDrive – as well as a slim keyboard with USB 2.0 ports.

The Early 2008 iMac also moved from the 800 MHz system bus in the Early 2008 iMac to 1066 MHz, and clock speeds now range from 2.4 GHz to all the way up to a 3.06 GHz build-to-order option. Apple updated the iMac with Intel’s more efficient Penryn processor in April 2008, which has a larger Level 2 cache and includes the SSE4.1 instruction set.
