Leopard Requirements Afraid Macbook too old
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has an idea or tried out the pre-release version of Leopard since I only got a macbook 1.87 Intel Core Duo about a year ago... I know I should have waiting for Core2, but it's too late now.
Anyone have any ideas if I need to upgrade for the next OS X release?
Thanks-

What about a 1.5 G4 PB or a rev a G5 2.0 iMac? I think that iMac will be fine and the PB has 2 gigs of memory.
The iMac is fine for sure. The PB might be a little hard, but should run Leopard as well.

Will a 1.67gh power book with 1.25 gb memory work with leopard?

There's no question that it'll run, the question is whether or not it'll be as fast as, or faster than Tiger. It'll run on any G4 faster than 1GHz, but it's a question of whether or not it'll be tolerable. My guess is that my iBook is gonna be tough, but that's partially because I don't have CI/QE support. I'm hoping to retire it for a Macbook.

Am I to understand that my 1GHz PB G4 with 768 MB RAM likely won't run Leopard well or at all?
/Still on Panther, FTR.
Requirements for Leopard are 867MHz G4, G5 or Intel processor and 512MB RAM.

Similar configuration. What gives?
Edit: JLL, just saw your post, thanks. I'm really at the bottom of those requirements. But I've had the same experience as you with each version being faster than the previous so I hope it stays that way.
No G3 based system will be "officially" supported.
All G4 based systems will be "officially" supported.
It is recommended to have the most current hardware.
My 1Ghz G4 iBook is supported so your MacBook [newer technologies] is supported.
Can people read system requirement specs?

Recommended by whom? So I have to throw my MBP Core Duo out because it's not the "most current" hardware?
No dumbass. I was making the point that people think you have to and showing by comparing my iBook it's clear you don't have to.

Usually every update is faster than the previous version.

Criminy! Guess it may be time to put the old 1Ghz G4 iMac out to pasture!
