I recently got an eMac, its specs are 1.0Ghz G4, 512mb RAM, 60gb HD, works flawlessly 😀. Its running OS X 10.2.8 and I was wanting to know can I do a direct upgrade to OS X 10.5? with a install disk.
eMac-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.2.x)
Yes, if it's a retail disk and not one which originally shipped with a Mac. You may want to install more RAM in the eMac first.
Classic applications won't run in 10.5.

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.
Cheers, Tom 😉
Upgrade to OS X 10.5 from 10.2.8
