I've personally seen countless problems with Leopard + G5...but who knows you might get by and never see a single problem....


feel free to be another guinea pig and try and figure out how to fix the problems for the rest of us...


I tried Leopard, then switched back to Tiger...

You need more memory. I wouldn't even run Tiger on 256. Leopard would crawl on 256.

I have a 1.9 GHz iMac G5 with a built-in iSight. Tried installing Leopard on it. It ran, but more slowly than I would have liked... that Mac only has 512 MB of RAM in it. I would very much like to upgrade its RAM to 2.5 GB (the maximum it will take) sometime in the future... I ended up downgrading it to Tiger.
