Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Minimum Requirements
06/18/2007 12:48 Filed in: Technology
-- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis --
According to a forum post on Amazon.com, the minimum requirements for
the developer's seed of the upcoming Leopard release of OS X lists
the following:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 or G5 processor
a DVD drive
built-in FireWire
at least 256 MB of RAM for a PowerPC based Mac, and 512 MB for an
Intel-based Mac
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video
card supported by your computer [The Installer may not support your
video card.]
at least 6 GB of disk space available, or 8 GB if you install the
developer tools
Above is what I found by simply typing "Mac O/S 10.5 Requirements",
therefore it should work.

processor=20
Would my lack of 67Mhz make that much of a difference

The final shipping version of Leopard required a minimum 867 mhz G4,
and the only way you are going to get Leopard on an 800 mhz iMac G4
is through one of the "workarounds" available online, such as here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=392106
or here:
http://forums.macnn.com/90/mac-os-x/351987/leopard-on-800mhz-g4-imac/
Above is what I found by simply Googling "leopard install 800mhz g4".
You don't say how much RAM / hard drive space you have Chris. That
will most definitely be a factor to consider. And also, if upgrading
to Leopard is really worth it to you.

There is a reason why Apple set the minimum requirements so high, Leopard is a resource hog. I suggest using CCC to make an image of your system before upgrading to Leopard. Then I would install Leopard and see if the results are acceptable. You can always use CCC to restore the image of your old system if it doesn't work out the way you wanted it to.

I tried it on the iMac 800 G4 (OS 10.4.11) but no joy, the computer would get stuck at the gray Apple logo during boot up.

time to do it. The only thing I have done to the machine since the
hard-drive update is set up Mail, synced the address book, calendar
and bookmarks. I think running Leopard should be fast enough on the
machine as I already have it satisfactorily installed on a 12"
Powerbook which has the minimum 867 clock speed.
