PowerPC Macs won’t let you install OS X to a USB drive or choose it as your startup volume, although there is a work around for that.
#NEW HARD DRIVE FOR IMAC 2010 3.2 I3 MAC OS#
PowerPC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes. Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. The 2010 iMac shipped with OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard and is compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The Mid 2010 iMacs have 4 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800 (but not 400), gigabit ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an SDXC Card slot, and an 8x SuperDrive.Ģ7″ iMacs have 4 GB of RAM, a 1 TB hard drive, an 8x SuperDrive, and Apple’s aluminum keyboard and Magic Mouse. The dual-core 27″ model uses Radeon 5670 graphics with 512 MB of video memory, and the quad-core 27″ iMacs have Radeon 5750 graphics with 1 GB of video memory. The new iMac can also be ordered with Apple’s new Magic Trackpad.Ĥ GB of RAM remains standard across the line, and maximum RAM stands at 16 GB using four 4 GB modules. The SD Card slot, which is on the right side below the SuperDrive, supports SDXC.Īpple’s wireless keyboard is now standard, as is the Magic Mouse. The display is LED backlit, and the 27″ iMac also has Mini DisplayPort input, allowing another computer or video device (DVD or Blu-ray player) that supports DisplayPort to use the iMac’s screen (it’s not compatible with HDMI, DVI, or VGA, although there are now some third-party adapters). The 27″ iMac provides an incredible 2560 x 1440 pixels. CPU speeds start at 3.06 GHz for dual-core models and 2.8 GHz for quad-core ones, and all but the i3 CPUs support Intel’s Turbo Boost technology, which allows them to run at even higher speeds (making allowance for heat issues).Īpple has also adopted 1333 MHz memory, a step up from 1066 MHz RAM in the previous generation.
All CPUs used in the 2010 iMac support Hyper-Threading (on last year’s model, only the i7 versions supported Hyper-Threading). Apple has now moved the entire iMac line to Intel’s Core “i” family of CPUs, including the dual-core i3 and i5 as well as the quad-core i7.
