[G4] 10.5 to upgrade or not to upgrade

[Eric Smith]

You might want to look through the information on this page for
reports of Leopard on slower G4 systems:

As the page states, you may also want to consider upgrading your
graphics card for Leopard, as well as the CPU.

I also have a G4 Sawtooth, and before installing Leopard I upgraded
the CPU with this:

Leopard runs fine for me with the 1.0 GHz CPU. Sometimes I wish
I had chosen the 1.8 GHz version, but I was trying to avoid spending
the extra money for it. I also upgraded my graphics card from the
original ATI Rage 128 to a Radeon 9800 Pro.
