Upgrading eMac from Panther to Leopard

Once Leopard is released, will I be able to upgrade to Leopard without purchasing Tiger first? I am using Panther 10.3.9 on an eMac. Thank you.

eMac, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In principle, yes.
However: what eMac do you have?
Leopard requires a G4 867Mhz. Many eMacs are below that (including mine).

My processor is 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. Looks like I'm out of luck. Thank you.

You'r enot out of luck - 1.25GHz is 1250 MHz - faster than the 867 required. What you need to look at though is how much RAM do you have - you need at least 512 - if you are lower than that you need to upgrade. Fortunatly installing RAM in an eMac is very easy - one screw on the bottom and the RAM cover comes off. At that point you are looking at the two RAM slots.
