Hello !
I own another iMac a1207 of 2006, I would to install the latest macOS. Is that possible ? If yes, does it need more RAM or something else and how can I make that possible ? If I need RAM, can you suggest how much do I need and where to buy it online ?
P.S. The RAM model would be great too because I'm not an Apple expert and I dont know a lot of things, unfortunately.
Thanks for the response !
I wanted to know if Apple still supports this macOS. Also, my mac has only 2GB RAM so I'll need to install some more.
P.S. I also found this photo by the serial number that might help you !

mactracker.ca database app (download) runs on much newer Mac
Hardware cannot physically use any modern upgrade path
nor can those obsolete/antiques run newer software, either.
Do you already have install-restore DVD discs for Tiger or Leopard?
If so, that'd probably do fairly well; esp. w/ 7200-RPM HDD. I've this
installed in 2006 MacBook1.1 13-inch 'first edition' 1.83GHz coreduo
on Leopard 10.5.8 with 2GB RAM (max) & 150GB 7200-RPM drive.
If your old iMac still can go online, and runs Tiger or Leopard
then try TenFourFox browser, version G3_TenFourFox. Special
instructions, aside from their main download, page tells how.
If you upgrade/buy Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (retail disc) then get
online updates to bring it to full 10.6.8; that's as good as it gets.
Apple site has the small download to finish what's on the DVD.
(The intel-based mac only uses one version Ten4Fox_G3 browser
these otherwise are not supported; TenFourFox is all volunteer)

Use following link and cryptic instructions, above to install this:
TenFourFox for G3 processors - recent custom 'firefox/tenfourfox'

• TenFourFox: A fork of Mozilla Firefox for Power Mac and Mac OS X - Tiger/Leopard PowerPC

This browser cannot work with Lion 10.7.x ~ systems past 10.6.8, don't include 'Rosetta' on DVD.
That model has a maximum OS of 10.7.5 and maximum RAM of 4GB; only 3GB of that will be usable.
