Can my mother in law's Imac run Facetime?

My mother in law has an imac running 10.5.3, Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 1 GB. We would like to use Facetime to keep in touch with her, but are unclear if she needs to upgrade her machine


Thank you

Mac OS X (10.5.3)

Hello,


Looks like you'd have to Upgrade at least the OS...

Macs with Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later that were produced before those referenced in the sections above can use FaceTime for Mac. Calls will be sent and received using standard (non-HD) video.

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...


General requirements

* Mac computer with an Intel processor

* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)

* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

* DVD drive for installation

* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.


Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it.
