Can I simply Copy one machine completly onto another?

Hi


I have two imac's, a 24 inch 2.4 w/ 10.4.11 that's completely decked out in "working properly" audio programs (pro tools,reason,finale, ect).

I have another that's a 24 inch 3.06 w/ 10.5.8 that is a better machine... Can I "wipe" clean this machine and literally copy the whole other machine onto it? With a little luck things will it possibly work properly?

Thanks for the help!

I'd say using time machine and seeing if it works, but that's what'd i'd do, wait for more responses
