My $0.02 . . .
I'm pretty much resigned to another year with Ye Olde G5, and I'd like to get it properly set up with Leopard. Most of the retailers I've checked are sold out, however, and I'm seeing some nasty pricetags on the few that are left.
So, anyone know where I could get a single-user 10.5 install at a reasonable price?
I wish I had seen your post sooner - and these comments are from someone
who used both Tiger and Leopard on a G5, as well as observations from a
friend who has the same G5 and Tiger. Both systems were used for a variety
of tasks - web, iPhoto, iTunes, office apps, etc.
Basically, my experience was that Leopard really made my fans work
overtime, while my friend's Tiger G5 never had the problem. Both systems
were maxed out with 2GB RAM. And my Leopard G5 was slower in some
ways than his Tiger G5.
I see that you've gone ahead and bought Leopard, so you're "committed".
But you may decide to go back to Tiger, so keep your disks and 10.4.x
update files . . . ;^)
Good luck!
