I've never updated any version of Mac OSX and have had Tiger preinstalled on my MBP. I want to upgrade to Tiger without wiping the hard drive or "archiving"... i just want a straight upgrade.

how will this affect the performance?

it should technically increase b/c now Leopard will take advantage of the Core 2 Duo's 64-bit capabilities... but will having Tiger somewhere in there slow it down?

Will all traces of Tiger get erased? Leaving only the new Leopard OS?
 
hummm

Tiger will be relegated to a folder that you can delete if you choose. Tiger will not be slowing down any part of Leopard.
 
so the Tiger OS will get sent to a folder... but will put all my preferences, applications, & documents in Leopard?
