Steve What is it you want to do, that it won't do now under 10.39 ? (Besides run slower ?)

Re: [CGUYS] Mac OS question
Actually, you are more like 1.45 x the minimum, which is .867 Ghz. As someone who is even closer to the minimum, I can tell you that you won't see much if any difference in speed doing the same things you are doing now. It has been documented that Leopard is slightly slower than Tiger, but Tiger was faster than its predecessors, so you may not see any change at all (or even an improvement) moving from 10.3.9 to 10.5.1. Where you may see speed issues is with some of the features you didn't have before. The main issue for me is with the Cover Flow file view. It is fairly slow for me, not tremendously useable, whereas it is really slick when I've tried it on a machine at an Apple store. I don't really have speed issues with any other Leopard feature. Aside from Cover Flow file view, unless I am doing something really memory- and processor-intensive, I don't see any difference at all from when I used Tiger. By the way, I have a 1Ghz powerbook with 1GB RAM. and I sometimes use my son's machine, a 1.33 Ghz iBook with .5 GB RAM, and I don't notice problems with it either.
