OK. So at the mo, no-one can freely say what the base requirements for Leopard are likely to be. Guess we must see what WWDC reveals, then.

After months of experiment, I've decided to revert all but one of my Tiger machines back to Panther. While some things definitely improve with each major OS release, others just seem to get bogged down in new eye-candy. It's not much of a problem for new Macs since their newer GPUs are built to take this load, but it doesn't suit the unsupported LEM approach. I guess you guys are seeing a similar trend with progressive versions of iLife.

I don't know about G3's. The current iLife suite says it requires a G4. So Apple already is dropping G3 support. Though iLife '06 does run on a G3 (I had to copy it from one of my G4 machines).

The G4 requirement for iLife is largely due to Garage Band and iDVD, both of which make heavy use of Altivec.

Ya, in general, iLife 6 requires a 400-MHz+ PPC G3, G4 or G5 and Mac OS X 10.3.6 or later.

But the specifics can kill LEMers...
