1. i think you mean leopard? maybe not
2. if i were you i would have just bought the macbook to begin with. much easier than having to upgrade something you just bought to get it to where you want it to be.
sell the cube and save your money and get a macbook, you will be much happier with intel and everything that comes with a new macbook, including leopard
 
Well ya I did mean tiger , but ya leopard is pretty cool , but need more requirements (more powerfull requirements .. lol).. and alright , but I want to keep my cube , cause I juste like its size and everything ... but alright il keep that in mine thx.

Someone doesn't know how to spell crappy...;) Only kidding.

Anyways, I would get a refurb macbook for $800 or buy a used one on ebay. It will be a definite upgrade from your cube. It's worth the wait. Plus, with the macbook you can run leapord which is freakin sweet.:D
 
Cubes are basically non-upgradable (you can but there is a real likelihood you will kill it)... Your money is MUCH better spent on a macbook so you're just going to have to wait like the rest of us on this forum do...

I would definitely listen to a lot of these guys. Get the MacBook and don't waste your time on old junk... The Cube was nice for it's time, and a wonderful machine, but it's a G4 processor, and trust me, you will be kicking yourself once you realize how slow that thing will run compared to the Intel Macs running 2GB of RAM.
