Leopard apps on imac g3?

[Boots-]

hey is it possiable to get some of the leopard applications on mac os tiger on a 400mhz imac g3. ( like the new mail, spaces and the new ichat, would flinder and the new spotlight be possiable too?)

Nope. You'd need to be running Leopard.

is there a way to get leopard on my imac g3?

Not really.

And by that, I only mean, "Not well. At all."

It's theoretically possible, but why would you want to? It wouldn't run... at all.

You'll have a terrible experience. Leopard was never meant to run on the G3 at all, so even if you can get it to work, good luck doing anything that takes less than a minute to process.

You can do it, but it will suck. A lot. IMHO the best version of OS X for an old G3 is Panther or, if you've got plenty of RAM, Tiger. Leopard is really designed with G5s and Intel machines in mind -- it will work on a G4, but even that's pushing it.
