    Ok, i have to hard drives on my Mac.

    One is for OS X and the other for MorphOS.

    I currently have OS X Tiger.

    Would my Mac handle Leopard and will it run nice?

    These are the specs:

    PowerMac G4 1Ghz (2MB L3 Cache) and 640MB Ram and ATi Radeon

    I intend to upgrade it to 1.5GB Ram soon.
    Power Mac G4 1Ghz (Sonnet Encore) 640Mb, ATi Radeon 9000 Pro, USB 2.0
    OS: MorphOS 2.6 (Registered) , Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11

    Leopard can run on older hardware as long as they have a G4 upgrade installed running at the 867mhz or faster, have at least 9 GB free of hard drive space, 512 MB RAM and have a DVD drive.

    Hi
    You could run OSx Leapord nicely on that box but I would have at LEAST 1gb ram... max it out if you can.
