I still whant to get a computer that runs atleast snow leapord. How much would a C2D iMac run??

As said many, many times by now, get a C2D Mini. You can find them for cheap on Ebay.

OR, build a Hackintosh. My old Dual-Core ran Snow Leopard fine, and to build that now would cost maybe $100 tops.

If we had C2D iMacs they would be $500+ and they usually go fast.

Seen them cheaper than that already, and that was even my model which is 20" already.

Also a Mac Mini is a good choice, unless you explicitly want an All-in-one...

Computers that are that old don't really feel much faster from model to model, because usually you'll limit them to basic tasks and do your main work on a better machine.

So apart from OS and some light applications it's nothing to compare here usually.

C2D means you get up to Lion.

Snow Leopard runs extremely fine on C2Ds.

How much are the first mac mini running on ebay?

From $100 to $200 or so, but I don't think they're worth it. The cheap ones will not have wifi or bluetooth (they were configured options on the first mac minis), and they've got G4s in them.

I've seen C2D ones for only slightly more, which came default with wifi and bluetooth, and are very reliable computers that you can work on (more easily than an iMac or a Macbook). A C2D is still a decent processor for modern applications. Just make sure you don't get a Core Solo model, which are the worst ones they ever made. :laugh:

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
