Re: New Mac
The differences in RAM wont be noticed by the naked eye, for the most part, unless you are gaming, but the computer will notice it because the processor wont have as many divided programs comming to it, and your HD will love you for it because it wont be jumping around as much while using VM. So more RAM is always a good idea.

Re: New Mac
You could however, use the Tiger disk to re format the HD and install 10.4.5. Then install 10.5 and run applications for both OSs'. This brings up the question "Will iLife and some other programs be installed, and work after you reinstall Leopard?".
