[BNM] Quick Apple iMac question.

[Joe Aliferis]

This chip is not going to be happier running leopard - in fact, I 
suspect it will have frequent kernel panics running leopard and crash

It may be able to run Tiger ok (10.4.x)

Panther 10.3.9 is fine for most things tho -  unless you have a new ithingy
