I haven't been following this whole thread, but just noticed what is going on here. Forgive me if someone already mentioned this.
I successfully installed 10.5 on an old G4 450 tower. It was easy. You have to use a great shareware program called LeopardAssist. It tricks the installer into thinking the machine has a higher clock speed. Actually, the performance is very respectable given how old this machine is (7 years??). Yet another reason I tout the Mac over PCs.... you get many more years of use out of them running the latest OSes!
