Tiger might be > faster though. I just posted results of downgrading a 1.67 GHz G4 PowerBook from 10.5.5 to 10.4.11. There was about a 20% speed increase across the board for 10.4.11. This is a noticeable amount of speed and Tiger seemed much quicker. I don't think that Leopard offers anything worth a 20% speed hit. Your iMac won't support Core Image or Core Animation, so that basically leaves Spaces & Stacks (both just eye candy), and Time Machine (buggy and doesn't seem reliable). I've got Macs running both Leopard and Tiger, I'd stick with Tiger on you G4 iMac. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
