I have a dual boot G5 Dual 2.7 PowerMac 10.5.8 10.4.11 The Leopard runs good on it but I still have rip and toast issues with all my PPC machine running Leopard. I say Leopard is an Intel system. It does have some nice features but you really need the dual processors if you're going with PPC. but that's just me. John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA
