Mac OS X 10.3 Phase-out
On June 30, 2008, Computing Services will discontinue support for the Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) operating system. Effective this date, Computing Services will no longer assure that other supported software, as well as future installers and new versions, will function properly under Mac OS X 10.3. Support will continue for the two most recent Mac OS X versions: 10.4 and 10.5.
We encourage the campus community to upgrade their computers before June 30, 2008. Mac OS X 10.5 is available at the campus Computer Store for a discounted price of $69.
Upgrading
If you plan to upgrade an older machine, first discuss it with your departmental administrator or DSP consultant. The following is required to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5:
- Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
- 512MB of memory
- DVD drive for installation
- 9GB of available disk space
For specfic machine requirements, see Apple's Mac OS X Leopard Technical Specifications.
