STLVNUB Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Well, What Can I Say, It Runs SLOW But That Is Because It's Got 2GB Ram Shame APPLE Shame Putting ONLY 2GB Ram In One Thing They Did Right Though Is Putting A 7200RPM HDD In It.

STLVNUB Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 I Read Somewhere It Can Take 8GB But I'll Probably Settle For 5GB, Don't Want To Spend Too Much On It Typing This From Mojave Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359205-monterey-on-2008-imac/#findComment-2820195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLVNUB Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 (edited) I've Got Snow Leopard, El Capitan, Mojave And Monterey On It. It Originally Shipped With Leopard 10.5.2, So The 2GB Ram Probably Suited It. Just Using It For Nostalgia, As I Loved The Snow Cat. Must Put Leopard On It And See How It Runs There Is Nothing More Satisfying Than Seeing And Hearing The Welcome Screen Which Was A Pain To Do In It's Time Man We Certainly Have Come A Long Way Edited May 17 by STLVNUB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359205-monterey-on-2008-imac/#findComment-2820196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
