Re: Running OS X 10.5
I haven't ever found that to be the case on that class of hardware, but your usage may be much more limited than mine.

Re: Running OS X 10.5
Hi. To reiterate what I said earlier, I run Leopard on an 867Mhz G4 TiBook originally with 768MB of RAM. It is my main Mac and I do everything on it. It runs lovely. Very happy with the performance and I run apps like OpenOffice, Photoshop, GIMP, VLC, Audacity etc daily without too much hassle... I upped to 1GB of RAM and the difference was noticeable. I'm not naive, yes a newer Mac would be faster but this one suits me.

Printer Drivers
Has anyone heard when HP will be updating their printer drivers so the printers will work with Snow Leopard? I bought a new HP printer last week, and it won't work with Snow Leopard. I also have a deskjet D2460 that won't work. Carol --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Running OS X 10.5
Leopard runs just fine on anything over 512 MB. I agree 100% my main mac right now is a 700mhz g4 iMac with just the bare-bones 512mb of ram. I installed Leopard although unsupported, and noticed no change in performance from tiger to leopard. Sometimes I do feel that leopard is maybe a little quicker than tiger at loading my apps. I am a photographer and use Photoshop CS3 for extended amounts of time, and don't notice any lag that tiger didn't have. Like Wayne said, see how your current memory affects your day-to-day tasks. And enjoy either way!

I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 now. When I thought of upgrading to Leopard, I read that it likes to see at least 2 gigs of ram to run smoothly. Does anyone have any experience with running Leopard with this configuration? Leopard runs just fine on anything over 512 MB. Additional memory needs depend on the mix of applications you like to run. How much memory do you need? A lot of people blindly recommend 1 or 2 or 10 or 20 GB. That's the equivalent of the car salesman trying to get you to buy a full size bus when all you need is a two seater or SUV. If you don't USE the memory, then buying extra is useless!! Load up your Mac and run for a while with your normal app mix. Then actually take a look at what you're using with Activity Monitor. If *BOTH* the free and inactive pools are tiny - both consistantly less than 8 to 10 MB, *AND* the Page Out rate is going nutz, then you MAY need more memory. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Printer Drivers
My understanding is that Apple is going to issue a updated version to Snow Leopard to correct the problem.
