Hi. I have an old 2006 iMac (model A1207, EMC 2118), whose GPU is failing so much that I can't keep it running on Mac OS X for more than 4-5 minutes. Indeed, after some time it freezes and it needs to be rebooted. However everything seems to work fine in Single User mode or if I boot another CLI OS.
Do you think there is a way to use it as a (headless) server so that it does not need a GUI and doesn't cause almost any GPU stress?
Basically I need a NetBoot server only.
Thank you.
