Leopard requirements/10.5.x...


* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor


minimum system requirements


* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)

* DVD drive for installation

* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.

Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

Thanks again

😟...I can't hardly use this thing..won't install photoshop just now and other browser..I know this is not a PC community..but I have dual drive I think(on my gateway media gm4019E that all it does is a loud fan noise but it won't show an OS)..Is it possible to get those hard drive out and place it in a working PC? Goodness all of my photos (that's all I am concerned about are all on that drive)...Or maybe on this Mac as an external drive?
