what will leopard run on?

[Obsidian6]

I have a similar PowerBook and I don't plan on switching to Intel until '08. The PowerPC G4, if outfitted with the maximum amount of ram and properly maintained, will be fairly usable for atleast two more years.

agreed. I just haven't had any spare change to drop the $100 to buy an extra stick of ram lol! I will soon enough.

besides. i like the size of this 15" PB. it's perfect.

I hope it will run on G3. I would like to upgrade my Mini and my iMac G3.

Apple have removed the mention of the G3 from the Leopard site - I think you may be out of luck. Probably going to be G4 and upwards.

G3 and above. It says on the Leopard preview site (can't remember which page).

Not any more, Apple have removed the mention of the G3.

It was on the 64 bit page but it's since been removed.

Quartz Extreme and the G4 should be the minimum requirements in all honesty.

Guys even if Leopard would support the G3 what new tech/64bit app would run decently on sutch an old cow? Textpad?

Haha. I remember using a G3 iBook in 2004 and thinking "wow this is unusable". Get on buying a new computer G3 users.
