It came with Mac OS Tiger installed and was giving me fits because it would only boot in safe mode. This was one of the first models of the iMac but was also one of the first with an Intel processor. Gen Apple product.I needed to invest in an Apple computer to add the Apple OS to my resume, but I didn't want to break the bank doing it. The problems of bulging caps, and screen flicker/dimming, were never really acknowledged by Apple, but were pervasive, and on my machine persist to this day. under warranty and addition replacements and recapping at my expense. Multiple power board replacements, power supply replacements, etc. Gen 20″ model right after it came out and while it is still in limited, secondary use, it has NEVER operated correctly.

VGA and S-Video and composite video outputs were available.Īll models were AirPort Exteme Wireless ready with a option to opt for internal Bluetooth. USB 2.0 ports came in a threesome and 2 Fire Wire 400 ports provided high speed connections. These video cards used an 8x AGP port and contained 64MB of dedicated DDR. Powering the displays was the job of the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra video card. All models could be upgraded to a maximum of 2GB of DDR Ram.

After the introduction of the 20″ iMac G4 models stunned the computing world with its sheer size, Apple decided to end the G4 model line and move on to a different design.
