I haven't tried installing Leopard on an unsupported machine, but I have installed it on my 1.33ghz PowerBook G4 with 1gb ram, and while some things do feel just a slight bit sluggish, overall it is still very useable and most of the time it is comparable in speed to the Tiger and even Panther partitions on the same machine. Overall, though, the new features like QuickLook, the Downloads folder, Stacks, and ability to run all the latest software like Safari 5 far outweigh the occasional lag.
I think if you have installed Tiger on that computer and it runs well enough for you, Leopard's performance shouldn't be too much worse (though with such an old computer you will probably want to change the settings on the flashy animated features) hopefully that helps Steven On Sep 19, 2010, at 2:18 AM, Dave wrote: > Anyone have good advice about installing 10.5 on a 450 dual-core blue and > silver PowerMac? > I understand this can be done, but I'd feel better with a little advice on > how to do it. > > -- > You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group > for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs. > The list FAQ is at http://lowendmac.com/imac/list.shtml and our netiquette > guide is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to imaclist@googlegroups.com > To leave this group, send email to imaclist+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/imaclist -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
