Will Mac OS X 10.7 Run on my Power Mac G5?
Well I know this is the stupidest question in these forums, but I dont know, because 10.6 Snow Leopard was more or less a simple Upgrade to Leopard (probably the same reason why the Install DVD only cost $30, and was only made for Intel Macs) I really think Apple isnt quite finished with Power PC Macs yet, especially considering the MacBook Air has a garbage processor running at a weak 1.4GHz and my Power Mac G5 has 2 individual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors and 4GB of RAM and 4TB (2 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black) Hard Disk Drives, Bluray Drive, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth, and all those cool things, and Leopard's requirements only were a mere 867MHz G4. I understand the Power Mac G3 were far obsolete, but even some G4 Power Macs (MDD) can run 10.7, I mean for real people, you cant possibly tell me that a MacBook Air with garbage specs can run something that this Power Mac G5 (basically has the equivalent power as an angry Tiger in a cage that hasnt eaten in a week ready to tear Obama's face off the second its released) cant run, its really starting to eat at my nerves since Apple's favoring Intel over PowerPC which some of them run at 2.7GHz and the Mac Pro only runs at 2.66GHz! I have some serious confidence in my machine. And for a good cause. These Macs are far more than able to run this new OS without barely scraping by. Why would Apple want to just ditch these awesome machines?
With High Hopes,
Regards.
