I'm not overly ecstatic with Leopard. I don't use Time Machine and
everything else is eye candy. All my apps run well in Tiger, seem a
bit slower in Leopard. I had thought it was because I did an archive
and update but I nuked and paved a fresh Leopard with no changes
other than now getting kernel panics on a daily basis. This G5 has
run hot from the day I got it used and with Leopard it's been running
even hotter which probably accounts for the kernel panics. After the
last software update I started getting kernel panics within the apps
themselves, particularly Safari which will panic on the first link
clicked. A web search showed other G5/1.8mHz have experienced an
increase in kernel panics as well, although some have been running
with far less than my 3GB of RAM. I'm not interested in
troubleshooting the kernel panics when I didn't have them in Tiger
although I have been sending the reports on to Apple. Some people
have attributed early hard drive failure to repeated kernel panics
and I'm not interested in replacing a six month old drive because of
early failure.
If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll probably get an eMac. Simon
made them seem appealing once they have enough RAM.
