Leopard on a g4

[iSaygoodbye]

So i have a powermac g4 with a 533 mhz powerpc g4 processor,and 768 mb of ram. Ive seen some youtube videos and have been told by a couple people leopard would run decent on this machine. The only thing is the processor is just below apples requirements. How do i change what the computer thinks the processors speed is? i think its something called open firmware

all together now........everyone say it.......

m o l l a s s e s.........as in "slow as"

yea, it will run on that machine, but will be ^^^

Leopard sucks harder than a sorority girl on a Friday night when installed on the minimum requirement machine. Why subject yourself to running it on something even worse?

"Just below" apples requirements? Try "almost half".

Ha, why do it? Because you can. Thats why I did it. I'm running Leopard on a single 533 G4 DA with 768. Its my torrent box, I've got a 1.5TB FW400 drive hooked up to it, and sharing out 2 partitions on that drive to my local network. Got my new Mini running Plex with Plex pointed to the 2 partitions on the 1.5TB and I stream HD content over wireless. Works great. (well, great somemes doesn't happen on 1080p because my network sucks).
