I've been running 10.5 on various machines since day 1. The only problem I've had is right at install; Leopard is memory intensive and any RAM that is not up to specs will cause problems, even if Tiger ran on it. Use a RAM checker (like Rember) and run several passes to be sure your RAM is OK before you install 10.5. Also, be sure you want/ need/will use Leopard's features, because it will run a little slower than 10.4.11.
