Works fine on Dual 2ghz G5
Just installed on my dual 2ghz G5. Works great, although I don't notice any differences.

my download is horribly SLOOOOOWWWW. Apple must be getting hit hard for this or something. All of my other large downloads are moving along at around 300kb a sec
sweet. this was released pretty much right when i opened safari to Macrumors. (still said "Add Comments") 
hmm... maybe this will fix my Activity Moniter.app not working...

Yeah, my startup time was a little slower, I'm repairing permissions now, hope that'll speed things up a bit.
Is it just me or is OS 10.3.2 really, really slow now? It takes me an extra 8 seconds to boot up and snappiness is even worse than Jaguar was by quite a bit. I repaired permissions and checked my disk just in case and everything should be fine...
SLOW SLOW SLOW
I swear it's taking 2x the time than before to boot up.
It seems to take a bit more time than usual at the gray screen and apple screen.
THEN, Loading the menus and desktop took A LONG TIME...!!! You really notice it!!!
I rebooted it twice just to make sure..

Apple still haven't got Dual Head working correctly.
My monitor is capable of 1152xXXX, yet it doesn't show up in Display Preferences. I get 1024.768 and 1280x768. Unfortunately, at 1280x768, the refresh rate is too low - only 60Hz.
1024.x768 is too small resolution, and 1152 is just right - has good refresh rates available.
I know Panther is capable of 1152xXXXX resolutions, because it gives the option on another 17" monitor I've used.
I shall see whether Apple have fixed Networking - can find that out tomorrow at work - can't see any PC machines on the network. Jaquar I could see all machines.

Slowness of 10.3
Well, I'm going to wait before installing 10.3.2 for a bit. I can say that with an "Archive and Install", my 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 are CONSIDERABLY slower than 10.2.x ever was. Permissions are not a problem. I've got a Dual 800 with 1.25 Gigs of RAM.
Specifically, there are several things slower, and a few faster.
Good news with 10.3.1: Start up is definitely faster (haven't timed it though).
Bad news: Simple functions in the finder are much slower. Although menus are about the same, Command-Deleting files to the trash are MUCH slower. Also, scrolling through image previews or movie previews are INCREDIBLY slow in column view, whereas in 10.2.x or even 10.1.x, they were <0.5 seconds. Now, although variable, I have to wait ~1 second to as long as 10 seconds (even for small <100 kb .jpg files) before the preview shows up.
I've also had intermittent wake from sleep problems that I hope are fixed with 10.3.2 (I've got a GeForce 3).
