[CenaTv2]

how do i remove the bottom hard drive. their is a screw but its hard to get at

@CenaTv2 I would make a video showing how to do just that for you, but unfortunately I sold this computer just a couple of days ago. I'm saving up to buy a macbook pro before I go to university in the fall. (Any donations would be great XD, just kidding.... not really.)

@KylesTechTips its allright, i got it, i figured out how to get the actual bay out so then i could unscrew it

@CenaTv2 Good Job! :)

i have a question can you put leopard on a g3 thats upgraded

[KylesTechTips]

@themacman454 No, unfortunately apple didn't make leopard support the g3, the oldest machine leopard can run on is a powermac g4 with an 867MHz or faster processor. My g4 can't even run leopard as it has a 733MHz processor. :(

@themacman454 Unfortunately not. Leopard doesn't support the g3 architecture. Heres the min specs straight from apple:

Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:

A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor

512 MB memory or more

A DVD drive for installation

9 GB of available disk space or more
