[G4] upgrade to Leopard

[John Smutko]

> My machine is a Quicksilver 2002 running Tiger. I am very happy with its performance overall. Although the apps I use might be considered outdated--Photoshop 7, Indesign 2, Finale 2008--they work just fine for my needs. However, the browsers I use, Safari and Mozilla Firefox, cannot be updated and I get a lot of messages saying I am using a browser that is not supported. Question: (two fold) how difficult would it be to upgrade my machine to Leopard and, will it make that much difference in terms of compatibility? Thanks.

Jim Kirk?  Really?  Awesome.  

Have you done any upgrades on the Quicksilver?  Leopard is certainly possible on a Quicksilver, I have one sitting under my desk right now.  Depending on your processor (800 vs. 933 MHz) you may not have to do any upgrades.  Minimum specs for Leopard are here:

To get the full benefit I'd upgrade your processor and probably the video card as well, here's what mine looks like:

1.8 GHz processor
1.5GB RAM
ATI Radeon 8500
USB 2.0 Upgrade Card
