Leopard on a G4 PowerBook
Is anyone running Leopard on a 1.5ghz G4 PowerBook? How does it run faster or slower than Tiger? Should I upgrade now or wait till the first patch? My PB has 1gb of ram and a 128mb video card and I use it for surfing and light photo editing no Garage Band or Illustrator CS3 the bigest thing I use is Photoshop CS and Office 2004.

Leopard will run alot faster than Tiger on your powerbook, especially since you've got 1GB of RAM, all of your programs will work speedy too.
I haven't yet experienced any bugs, so I would just upgrade now.
But make sure you do a Fresh install.
Back up everything from your laptop (including the OS), you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to do it.
Then freshly install leopard onto the laptop and have it migrate all your files from Tiger to Leopard.
That's what I did, and have yet to see any bugs.
Just my two cents,

Excellent to hear thank you. I have a full backup that is no problem so it looks like I will purchase Leopard come payday.
Cool!
When you get it, let me know how the install goes, and if you've got any questions just let me know.
I'm on the forums every day
I will probably install it on my powerbook as soon as I have time, since I need it for work now.
But Leopard will definitely run very well on your Powerbook.
