Whenever possible it's usually best (in terms of ongoing compatiblity) to run the latest supported version of an OS for your system. 1GB ram is a good start, 10.5 should run ok on that system. I'd also keep an eye out for cheap CPU upgrades, or even a newer system...in fact it's probably cheaper to buy a newer system that comes with 10.5 than it is to source 10.5 itself... -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
