CLASSIC Apple KIT: Intel iMac

It seems strange to call an Intel iMac ‘classic’, but the Early 2006 model predates the first-generation iPhone, and it’s even stranger to imagine a world before that. The Early 2006 iMac was the first to switch from G5 processors to Intel chips. It used the Core Duo CPU, which boosted performance almost threefold, and shipped with 10.4.4 Tiger, which was the first Intel version of OS X. Alas, the Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so this iMac can’t run the 64-bit only Lion.
