[G4] 10.5 to upgrade or not to upgrade

[Luke Rademacher]

Technically you cannot upgrade to 10.5 because your CPU is slower  
than 800Mhz.

However many of the G4 upgrades from OWC should work proper with  
10.5. If you feel the need to spend the Cash to upgrade your Trusty  
G4 then do so. But bear in mind, no matter how many dollars you spend  
on a New CPU just to run a Faster OS, your computer will still be  
slow due to other factors: System Bus, RAM, HD controllers.

Sorry,
