Tiger!!!!

My MBP came with Tiger when I got it almost a year ago. I upgrade the Ram to 4gb a few weeks ago. If I put Tiger back... Would it run better?

Opinions please!!!

Leopard runs just as good as Tiger on my G4 mac mini 1 GB ram...why would you want to.

Why do you feel the need to go backwards?
Are you experiencing any problems?

Post your issues and perhaps someone can address them

honestly, time machine is reason enough to not use tiger

however, tiger is very solid. just keep in mind that more and more software will begin to require leopard

It's all about graphic smoothness... In Tiger the system seems to move better. I installed the 4GB and I dont see that much difference... I dont know, maybe I'm not seen well.. Maybe I need to reinstall Leopard again..

How do you change to 2D?

How do you change to 2D?

There are multiple ways to do it. Just google 2d leopard dock and you'll find quite a few ways.

If you have onyx already installed, it has an option in there to change it. If you don't, it's a great utility for optimizing and cleaning out your system plus it allows for some little interface tweaks (such as 2d dock).

Because of the wonderful 5.6 update I was forced to do an archive and install to get my iMac up and running again. Because I purchased it when Leopard was just released, my package came with the Tiger disks and the Leopard upgrade disk. So I had to load Tiger first as the upgrade disk isn't recognized as bootable. Having never used Tiger, I did find it to be quite snappy, however I continued to perform the updates to 10.5.6, figuring it was a clean system with no configuration changes. I rather liked the look and feel of Tiger too.
