Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 - Upgrade Compatability

[uphype]

I curently have 10.3.9 with a PowerPC G4 dual w/ 1.25 processors and 2 gig of ram. I want the highest upgrade I can get that will be compatibe with my software which is:

Quark 6.5
Acrobat 7.1
Acrobat Distiller 7.0
Illustrator CS1
Photoshop CS1
AND
Microsoft Office (don't know what version but I've had it for years)

I really can't afford to go buy all the software again and I don't want my system to crash. Any suggestions?

This upgrade is mostly spawned due to the recent purchase of a new iPod Nano... Not supported by my current OS! Man, I didn't read the requirements, shame on me. However, the dang thing will work on my kid's PC w/ XP Pro. I only got the Nano cause it's mac - he wanted the Zune that ONLY works w/ PC... Waa!!

Anyway - any suggestions on an upgrade?

Thanks,
Uphype

Buy a retail DVD of Leopard 10.5 . That is a nice machine. With the 2gb you got, it will fly.

Agreed....go for it..... NOW

My little ole 1.6ghz/SP/1.5GB QS can run 10.5.5 reasonably well, so I'm certain that your machine will too !
