As far as I remember the WWDC 2006 version of Leopard had this system
requirements:
- Intel, G4 or G5 Processor
- built-in firewire
- at least 256 MB of RAM for PowerPC and 512 MB for Intel Macs
- DVD Drive
However these may change until WWDC 2007 and/or final release.

Oh, there's no question, Ali: Leopard WON'T work on G3-based Macs
(or at least it's not supposed to), and I hope you're right about
working on G4s, because I was talking with an Mac tech a few weeks
ago and he said that Leopard won't work on the eMac (which is a G4).

Don't worry, Mac OS X(10.5) Leopard officialy supports G4 & G5
PowerPC Macs. Only G3 support is in question.

Thank you, Norberto: That's exactly my point -- recently, Apple
has really blown it in both customer service and hardware support
when in the past they had been much better (and I base this on
being an Apple user for 15 years). And now Leopard only works on
Intel-based Macs? That sure gets a WTF, no? Especially if you
bought a non-Intel Mac in the last, oh, year or so.
Customer service and hardware quality are apples and oranges. It's
a pity that the former isn't on par with the latter.
Which, again, gets back to the point of what OS one should be
running on pre-Intel Mac hardware, and I would like to think that
there is a market for long-time Mac users who do not pitch their
hardware for the flavor of the month running GNU/Linux instead of
being stuck on, say Mac OS 10.3. I vote with my OS, and on one
machine -- a G3 tower upgraded with a Sonnet G4 -- I'm running
Yellow Dog.

Larry,
I know three people who Apple has left in the lurch with their
terrible customer support specifically when it comes to their switch
to Intel based chips. All you have to do to verify this is go to any
Apple store in your area on a Saturday and wait for a disgruntled
person to start walking out. Politely ask them what happened.
You'll get the picture.
