oldhifi · Mar 20, 2014

IMac 20" Display MA589LL/A (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive

The guy is wanting $350, it is new in the box, never configured, is it worth it?

also can I upgrade to Snow Leopard?

If it's really new in the box sure it's worth it and yes you can install SL, I'd max out the RAM though. What is the model year?

Late 2006 white iMac - tops out with sys 10.7.5 (shipped with 10.4.7)
orig price was 1499.00

The price is close to what used units go for now, so new is a really good deal (assuming it is)

MA589LL/A is a Late 2006 20-inch iMac.
(7 years in the box (?) - it would be nice to know if it even turns on ? )

Why wouldn't it ?

I should get it Monday. So all I need to do is format Tiger HD and clean install SL from my Apple purchased 10.6.3 SL disk?

no warranty on it of course.

Yes this should work fine. I second the recommendation on upgrading the RAM.
