I am giving my G4 flat screen iMac ("lamp shade" or 1/2 ball) to a teenager. It has had 10.4 on it forever without any problems. But I am thinking that he may want to run 10.5. Can this Mac handle 10.5 without a lot of slowdown?
Though I am not a big fan of 10.5, one thing to remember is that it is still receiving security updates whereas 10.4 is not.
