What osx can i upgrade my lombard to?

i have an old Lombard 333mhz laptop and was wondering what OSX i can upgrade it too. it has 320mb of ram installed. I currently have OSX 10.2 installed but was wondering if I can go any higher with these specs.

My G3 experience is all with a Beige. It would take a 120 GB as-is.

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC with AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80 processor and a updated 6.0 RAM. I read on the manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03182899.pdf (on page 70) about all the types of processors that I can use.
Since then, the ZM - 87 and ZM - 88 came out. So can I upgrade to 87 or 88?
Also, am I limited to only AMD Turion processors? Can I upgrade to the new AMD Phenom™ II Processors ?
Can I also change from duel-core to quad? or even X6?
Lastly can i upgrade from 32-bit and 64-bit Window?
Overall, I just want to upgrade to the highest cpu processor as possible.

What ox can I upgrade to from Snow Leopard? Preparation?

I have a MB Pro with Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. What system can I upgrade to now? How best to prepare my computer for upgrade? I am not an advanced computer tech. Thank you.

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
OS X 10.7 Lion system requirements
Purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
To use OS X 10.7 Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck!

What parts can be upgraded in the iMac (sept 2012) besides memory at home?

Can I upgrade the hard drive from 1 tb to 3 tb or go to a 1 tb fusion drive?

If your 2012 iMac is a 27 inch screen model, the only thing you can upgrade is RAM.
If this is a new 21 inch screen iMac, then you cannot upgrade anything.
If you open up your iMac for anything, you not only void your one free year of AppleCare, but you void ever getting the option to purchase and register for the 3-year extended AppleCare warranty and no service of your IMac from Apple, directly.
Only get servicing from Apple Authorized service/repair locations.
You, basically, get left on your own.

What OS can I upgrade my 400 MHz DVD G3 iMac to?

I have a 400 MHz DVD G3 iMac currently running OS 10.2.8. I have 640 MBs of RAM. What is the most current OS I can upgrade to? Thanks for the help!

The posting proceedure can be a little confusing if you are not used to the forum.
In the future if you go to the top of the page and click on > Using your iMac (CRT), for example and post there, more folks will see your question. (Some responders here could move posts in the past - 'not sure if that still applies).
To install Tiger on your machine you will need 256MB RAM minimum (I'd double that). Be sure you use a "Universal" install disk. Don't try to use a "Machine-Specific grey disk. It won't work.
Although external drives are useful, you don't need one to install Tiger.

Hello,
10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can ever run.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
May be available from Apple again, or not...

What OS can I upgrade my iMac 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo to?

I currently use my old iMac as a netflix, web tv set . . . I am having issues with browsers etc., an am wondering what the latest OS I would be able to use on this machine? It is currently running 10.5.8 (iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) Thanks!!

First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.10 Installer.(10.10/Yosemite is the only download avalable now without specially calling Apple).
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.

What GPU can I upgrade to that will work with my computer?

Hello, I am lookign to upgrade my GPU in my HP H8-1234. About a year and half ago I upgraded my Radeon hd 7450 to a XFX radeon hd 7750. The card worked well, just for what I am doing with it (Gaming) it doesn't work as well as I would like. So I recently ordered a Gigabyte gtx 660, at the time I did not know about the bios locks that HP puts on their computers. So now I have the GPU sitting on my desk, useless. Luckily I can return it with no restock fee. The problem with it is that it boots, and then just sits on this screen that say press ESC to enter setup, or something like that. By the way my motherboard is a m3970am-hp. So I guess I have 2 questions.
1) Is there anything I can do to use the 660?
2) Assuming that the 660 is useless to me, what GPU is better than my 7750, and is compatible with my motherboard?

Hi,
You didn't indicate that you had upgraded your power supply. You need a 500+ watt power supply to power the 660 watt.
If you had already upgraded your power supply then it's possible that the NVIDIA 660 was flashed for UEFI mode. Your PC is running in legacy mode since you are running WIndows 7. You can verify legacy mode is enabled in the bios. If this is the case then RMA the NVIDIA 660 back to the video card manufacturer and request that it be flashed or exchanged for a NVIDIA 660 that will run in non-UEFI mode (legacy mode).

Can I buy and install RAM for my G4? (and what else can I upgrade?)

someone already pointed me to crucial, and it recommended I buy two 512MB memory for a total of 1.5G (I have 512mb right now while running 10.5 and I am miserable)
should I go ahead and do this, or is there a better or different (or less expensive) option??
additionally, is there anything else I can upgrade on this PC? seems to me there's tons of room in there and lots of old hardware, if I can pimp this old guy out anymore I'd love to do it. until I upgraded the OS I had no complaints about this PC. it clearly needs help now!!
thanks in advance!
my specs:
Power Mac G4 (2.1) 933 MHz (Dual 1GHz SDRAM) Desktop/PC

Hi-
Bumping up the RAM will definitely help. Crucial is good, but you can also compare at OWC.
With Leopard, a graphics card that supports Core Image would be nice.
A Radeon 9800 Pro, Geforce 6800 GT or Ultra, or real fast, a Geforce 7800 GS.
Any card needs to be stated as Mac compatible, or a Mac Edition.
The Geforce cards would be flashed (PC cards converted to Mac) available on eBay.
If you buy from eBay, there are trustworthy, and not so, sellers. Make sure you check feedback.
Geforce cards from a G5 won't work in the Quicksilver or MDD.
A cheaper card option that supports Core Image, would be a Radeon 9600 or 9700, possibly a Geforce 6200 (again, flashed), though the 6200 can have trouble in Leopard.
A new hard drive is always a good way to gain better performance.
You can add USB 2.0 to your machine with the addition of a USB 2.0 PCI card. Any card that has the NEC chipset will work. These are available for as little as $15.
BTW, am a bit confused by your signature... a 933MHz machine is a QuickSilver 2002, as is a Dual 1.0 GHZ. There is also a dual 1.0 GHz MDD. Confirm your machine type Here.

MacBook Pro Model A1261 Osx v10.5.8 -- which OS can I upgrade to?

A friend of mine has asked me to upgrade her MacBook Pro A1261 which still has the original OSX 10.5.8 on it. What is my best bet for upgrading? Which OSX can I upgrade to and everything still work as expected? She'd like to put on the latest and greatest, but I'm not certain this model will work w/ the latest.
What is the best route to take?
Thanks,
Brian

Your friend's macbook might not work with Mountain Lion.....Check here to verify
Best to upgrade to SL and stick with that OS for a while until she upgrades her apps to the current version...
If she's not worried about her apps, then by all means, go ahead with the Lion upgrade.....But you need SL to get to Lion
Good luck
just checked your specs - early 08, if this is true, then you can upgrade to ML after you've upgraded to SL.....

Upgrading a Lombard to OS X

Hello! I am a new here and i just want to know how can i upgrade my lombard from OS 9.2.2 to OS X
My powerbook is a lombard, 400Mhz with 384 mb built in memory. It has 10GB hard disk space.
Thanks.
Leo

leo,
Welcome!
You have sufficient memory and the capacity of the HD is fine as long as there is enough free space. If you wish to retain 9.2.2, the simple answer is just install 10.x on what you have.
- Perform a Get Info on your HD and see how much free space is available; you want at least 3GB. Depending on how much space you have, the HD may also be fragmented to the point it interferes with the OSX install. If you had Norton Utilities (never use this on 10.x), you could check how fragmented it is with Speed Disk and also use Speed Disk to defragment. Alternatively, you can erase/install 9.x again...this also performs the same job. I am not suggesting you have this problem but it would be nice to check before installing.
- The Lombard can run up to 10.3.9 natively, 10.4.x using XPostFacto. I recommend you stay with 10.3.9 or earlier.
- Finally, you may have a problem with the combination of CPU + memory + OSX. Please read this thread and focus on the utility 'PPC Checker' and memory.
