Can you increase the ram for better 10.5 performance?

I'm running 10.5.8 on a Powerbook G4 without any problems at all.

The iTunes installer won't even run on 10.4, so I don't see a real "work around" with being able to continue to use 10.4.

Alright~ Thanks~
Mine is on 512RAM...

I think that's the minimum for Leopard, which is never a good sign.

I have an iBook G4 1.33GHZ/1GB RAM which I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard; I found overall speed to be roughly even, no particular gains or losses. So I guess that may be around the "tipping" point in terms of spec.

Leopard runs fine on my Dual 1.42ghz g4 (1.0 gigs) and my eMac (768 mb) so just bump the ram up a bit and you'll be set. ;)
