Notes
- As of iLife '06, support for all G3s has been discontinued - iLife '06 applications require a G4, G5, or Intel Core processor according to the specs at Apple's iLife '06 web site. Also losing out are machines without a DVD drive for the install, although booting a G4 machine as a remote disk via firewire may allow the install to take place.
