Leopard is a bit slower than Tiger, so you have to decide if it’s worth it.
Otherwise, running Leopard on this DA is not a problem. The only problem is with installing it, unless you can use another faster Mac for that: connect the DA in target disk mode and install onto its harddisk from the faster Mac. Then make a disk image of the DA’s boot partition to another disk (or partition) so you won’t need to use the other Mac again, in case your boot partition goes bad. Upgrading the processor, in my opinion, is only worth the trouble if you at least double the speed. And often you can get a complete machine, MDD or QS, for the same price as a CPU upgrade. That means you’d have two good Macs instead of one, for the same cost! In your case, you could look on ebay for a QS 2002 with a broken CPU.
