I run 10.5.7 on 768Mb of RAM in my 1.33Ghz G4 iBook, and it runs just
fine. OSX is very good at knowing the limitations of your Mac and
running within those boundaries. (For instance, using less graphic-
intensive animations in Dashboard for older Macs with not a lot of Vram)
10.5 added a lot of very useful new features, I would say even if it
did lag a bit the features you gain are worth it.
