I downgraded my 1.58 GHz Mini from Leopard back to Tiger specifically because Leopard was sluggish. Benchmark archives for XBench and Geekbench show about a 20% across the board slowdown for PPC Macs from Tiger to Leopard, and about a 20% speedup for Intel Macs. I'm using my PPC Mini as a media center computer, and it can't play HD video smoothly in Leopard, and just barely in Tiger, but just barely is just barely good enough. Stick with Tiger. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
