Leopard Runs Great Even On 6 Year Old Mac Technology
November 9th, 2007 by Mike
Let’s compare for a second, many people installing Vista on their brand new Vista Certified PC’s have complained their new PC’s just don’t have the juice to run Vista properly and let me remind you we are talking about brand new PC hardware.
Compare Mac vs PC - Leopard to Vista. Apple has set a minimum requirement for Leopard as a Mac with a 867MHz G4 Power PC Processor or higher. One might think that any machine with the bare minimum running Leopard would be sluggish and unresponsive? Not true… This is what happened when David Zeller Installed Leopard on his 2001 G4 Quicksilver Mac Tower.
“A few days ago I installed Leopard on my 2001 G4 Quicksilver tower with an 867 MHz Power PC processor – the oldest Mac model that Leopard officially supports.
And it rocks.”

I have installed Leopard on my eMac with CPU 800GHz and 1Gb of RAM. OS is running guite well, it seems to be a little bit faster than Tiger. System maintenace, like Permision Repair and Yasu is a little bit slow, but it isn’t big deal.
To install Leo on Mac, which doesn’t meet minimum system requirements, I used “LeopardAssist 1.1″
