CCC will give you the exact same OS X that is on your boot drive ... I just used the new version, CCC 3.1.2, on Tiger 10.4.11, and it behaved well. Its supposed to work with 10.5 as well. Just read through the instructions, which aren't too lengthy, and try it. It was pretty straight forward to me. The cloned OS X behaves well and just like the one from whence it came ... If you feel the old OS X on your boot drive has problems, it wouldn't hurt to start again. The clone would have the same problems, if any.
