Is this PPC, Intel or Universal?

PPC only. 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the first only Intel and 10.5 (Leopard) ran on both Intel and PPC. Some Macs shipped with Tiger, but had slightly different disks that won't work on other models. Hope this helps.

Yes, it appears to be http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=304431

Heavens yes. Also, go to Distrowatch and look at the all the Linux programs out there. It will run those too. Understand this: the people who make the boards, and Intel is excellent here, make them to run in a standard format so any operating system out there can handle them. Further, 10 something is out there and coming down the pike.. that board, and almost all the boards sold on Amazon will handle 10 when it gets here. SOME.. some of the boards are made for older input devices, and older operating systems. NOT the new ones which are universal. It is, by the way, and excellent, excellent board.

Correct, one is Atheros and one is Intel. I had trouble installing the Intel driver on Windows Server 2012, but finally found a way. The Atheros one worked just fine.

It's Haswell (not sure what you mean by 4th edition). Spec summary at:http://ark.intel.com/products/77656/intel-core-i7-4771-processor-8m-cache-up-to-3_90-ghz

PC manfacturers should publish a list of compatible RAM for each system they sell. You should contact HP if you have any doubts.

I would suggest checking the product website, they have listed the compatible chipsets and processors

No differences. Just different SKUs. Vendors do that a lot to give illusion of exclusivity to some merchants. The differences in specs on HP site can all be attributed to different way of entering the same info. In other words, whoever entered specs on the Web Site has a PEBKAC syndrome (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair).

Sorry, I forgot I had received this request! The processor is an Intel so it does use the full version Windows 8.1. The processor is essentially the Z2760 processor however which is the updated Atom CPU originally designed for Netbooks. Reasonably quick. I purchased this for my mother to use (90 yrs) and it has served her well. I have considered purchasing one for our house too, but we have plenty of PCs and tablets around the house at is! I would recommend purchasing a Office 360 license, if you need Office on the tablet. Cost is pretty reasonable and if you have multiple PCs and tablets around, the same license can be used on up to 5 of them. Sorry, I forgot I had received this request!

I don't know. The best I could tell you to do is going to Intel site and have it scan you computer for best compatible processor.

This is the more universal version. It lets you upgrade from xp or higher. This is consumer version. At least what we are selling is , We do not know what other sellers have to offer. .

I don't know but there was a list on the sight with hard ware comparability. I'm sorry I wish I was more help.

I wouldn't expect any problems. Proper Intel drivers must be included in the latest version of Ubuntu (and other Linux distributions), so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

I'm guessing you mean MSI, if so, then yea it is. If you have any more questions just leave a comment on one of my videos: youtube.com/user/ptechtips , I'll usually respond within a couple hours, I've also got Skype if you need some extra information, good luck with your PC!

Well, since those are both open source programs, you would want to check with the programmers, not the hardware manufacturer... Do you expect every company/person to keep up to date on every little Open Source program and compatibility?

I was wondering the same thing. It just because Ubuntu is open source, and everything that works with Windows doesn't necessarily work with Ubuntu. Proprietary patents, profit motives and such.. Its good to check before buying. Might as well buy something that is reported as having no issues.

The same model can have different processors. If it doesn't clearly specify a duo core; then I wouldn't trust it as so.
