According to Apple, the technical specs of your mac (to run Leopard) must be 867Mhz or faster--not 766Mhz. Even at 867Mhz--the bare minimum--it would probably run crappy.

You should really do some reading before posting.

People have gotten it running on 400 MHz G4s. It is really irrelevant what Apple says works. Don't even think about turning my own advice back on me.

I'd think you'd also tell a difference in your powerbook by getting a faster hard drive, especially with a 4200 in there currently. Samsung makes a single platter 160 gb drive that's the fastest ide notebook drive out there.
Max the ram, newer hard drive and you can probably coax a little more useful life out of your machine. Since you didn't ask about cs4, fcp, etc, I'm assuming you're doing consumer/iStuff with your system and aren't requiring anything too taxing out of it.

That might be true -- but that opinion is not supported by Apple. So, you came on here and essentially criticize people for not sharing your opinion.

It isn't opinion if it works. 😕
I'm confused as to why you think the physical ability to do something is an opinion.
