I don't think so, I had 1.5 Gb of RAM when I tried Leopard and I had upgraded the video card to a Radeon 9000 Pro. The DA has 133 Mhz bus, same as the MDD, so I think it was just what I said. Leopard is optimized for the Intel machines and it's just not as lean and fast as Tiger on PPC machines. As I said, this is JMHO. > I have a dual 533MHz DA, and when I first began contemplating > moving to Leopard I thought about just upgrading it, but Leopard > wants a minimum 867MHz processor to install.

I still love my MDD, but I don't think Leopard would improve it one bit.
