[TheTaffy93]

u r running liger

[cdsniper10]

Does anybody know how to force the transparent menu bar? And the dock is also very laggy with the bubble effect. 1Ghz g4 1.2Gb ram.

[jessiedablondie]

so can YOUT can get snow leopard on your ibook g4? because i just braught the new sims 3 and i cant play it because i need the snow leopard is that correct? im not sure im new to the mac computers. and it sux because i got my laptop and my game for my birthday and cant play them because i need snow leopard. please help me!?

[TheConferenceNorth]

hey you can also play The Sims 3 on Leopard, i have it and i play it on my iMac 2008 with Leo. I've also an iBook G4 and it CAN?t run Snow Leopard because it doesn't have Intel Processor.

[mobilzzone]

dude snow leo doesnt work on powerpc.. only intel macs

[CJ881]

kool vid. I have a ibook g4 with 1.2 ghz, 1.25 gb of ram and 80 gb hd. It runs great and i couldn't love it more.

[ScubaSteveM45]

Likewise, got iBook G4 1.33 ghz with 1GB RAM 130 GB hd and Leopard; runs like a top.

[donniebangout]

i have one on the way same ibook just less gb hd but how is it over all?

[ScubaSteveM45]

Its great man, fastest computer I have owned to date, does everything I want it to do, and will take Leopard but not Snow Leopard, you need one of those poseur Intel Macs for that.

G4 FTW!

[Brockdude1]

so basicly if i buy an ibook and install leopard it will be preety much the same thing as a modern day mac??

[TheOn3LeftBehind]

No because the new ones are Intel based. I had Leopard on my old iBook and it worked fine, but I didn't like how it took 11 GB. So if you DO get an iBook, make sure it has a big hard drive, at least has a 1 GHz processor, and at least 1 GB of RAM--the RAM is REALLY important.

[ScubaSteveM45]

I got my iBook G4 for that very reason, that is still was all Mac inside, to me an Intel based Mac doesn't feel right to me. Would you feel pleased to drive a new Cadillac with a Hyundai engine under the hood? Probably not, but now you know what I feeling about this.

[unholypally]

I agree, i feel the same way with PowerPC macs as opposed to intel macs. "If it's intel, it's not a true Mac"

[ScubaSteveM45]

Yes I am glad you also noticed this glaring discrepancy like I have. No matter what side of the computer world one leans to you have to give more credit to the computer maker that sourced all the pieces to their machines, from the OS to all the hardware and the processor. That is why you will never see a Microsoft brand PC, they just don't have the wherewithal to accomplish such a feat. MS couldn't even make a decent MP3 player and video game system that were good, whole computers wouldn't work

[evovenom4000]

Scubastevem45, excuse me but are you literely fucking retarded? on what world do you live in? god people these days. :)

[kickinpops]

haha what is the difference between tiger leopard and so on?

[demonwx10]

leopard had more features

[jackalarrr]

lol idiot

[ScubaSteveM45]

Leopard is v 10.5 and Tiger was before that, ver. 10.4

[Callofduty4nub]

it is a leopard

[Chipudnik]

you are running tiger...

the system preferances icon is the old one... nice video though and great skin

[Chipudnik]

3.5 - 4 stars

[valespace]

MacOS 10.5 Leopard 9a466

[valespace]

It's Beta of Leopard! View video released.

[Chipudnik]

oh im sorry, i just realized that sorry.

[Dimitry1996]

is there any lagging?

[stuckondamoment]

Naked Monkeys!!!

[nebulonthegreatest]

you can. google osx86 ;)

[TopGearPhilippines]

mine is a PowerPC G4, 1.42gHz so im gonna upgrade.. =)

[xXlostmodzXx]

Yes any iBook G4 can run any release of leopord.

[lepersamongus21]

There is one 800 MHz iBook G4 that won't run 10.5

[milestailsprower3]

i have a 1.07ghz and i am gonna upgrade. but i am upgrading from panther, and that is what worries me the most

[ScubaSteveM45]

There was an 800 mHz G4?! Never knew, I happen to also have a 800 mHz G3 iBook.

[jesusxlovesxall]

Hey, i'm new to using apple computers

i was just wondering, if you have an iBook, would you be able to put MacOS 10.5.1 on it?

[MacOSXrulez]

it depends on the specs of it, if you have an iBook with a processor that's 867Mhz or faster then you can put Leopard on it, and btw, 10.5.1 is an old update, the newest release is 10.5.2, you need 512MB of RAM or more to run Leopard but i recommend that you buy additional RAM in order to have more programs open at the same time

[rml695]

how did it work out on your iBook G4? I have the exact same system and am considering getting Leopard for it, but I can't answer the question in my head of whether or not the Intel Core Duo would make much of a difference when running Leopard, versus running it on the Power PC G4 iBook.

[valespace]

Leopard was born with Intel !

[tsenkai]

why i cant install it?

[MacintechStudios]

It needs to be over 900 MHz with a G4 CPU.

[tsenkai]

ty but i have a black mac now LOL

[Dotcomname3]

why do so many people have leopard already? is it released in other countries?

[olfrygt2007]

These versions are Beta Versions which are especialy for developers. You cannot buy it yet in stores.

[midgiemarsh]

is leopard availible in the US

[squalg]

are you stupid?

[olfrygt2007]

Leopard will be availible worldwide in october 2007

[Dotcomname3]

do u know the day?

[olfrygt2007]

unfortunately no. But October is the official time-frame.

[SandyHoldings]

Cool..iBook G4 can even run Leopard as smooth as Intel-based iMacs...impressive!

[baEaglei1]

cant wait for leopard to come out in i think october.

[valespace]

mail it is only blocked once. All the rest works perfectly

[ryanhawiya]

have you found any bugs?

[ryanhawiya]

im jealous:P

[ryanhawiya]

is this a copy from the expo or a download?

[valespace]

from the expo

[martijnzwama1]

impressive

[MacNerd1239]

That shows, unlike Microsoft they can have new software work perfectly on old hardware!

[GenCollado]

"That shows, unlike Microsoft they can have new software work perfectly on old hardware!"

Totally agreed. I was going to come back and say the same thing, but you beat me to it. :)

[MacNerd1239]

Especially with Vista. You either have to spend 2 grand on a new system or spend as much upgrading the one you have. What a bad way to make money. Seeing Gates is so rich he's just getting his money and making crappy software. Maybe when he leaves the software will be better. Maybe Vienna will be at least as good as OS 10.0?

[GenCollado]

Maybe up to par with the Mac OS 10.0 beta..or even alpha...I doubt M$ will create an OS as stable as an OS X release.

[MacNerd1239]

No, they will never get the Unix stability of OS X. They can try, but they will never succeed. I can't wait for Vienna to see if they copy the dock or something. Micro$oft....I can't believe I used to love them and hate Apple. How dumb was I?

[GenCollado]

Haha, I used to be the same thing.

I kinda looked back and slapped myself when I first saw a Mac.

I was like WTF?? :P

[MacNerd1239]

haha I can definetly relate. Wow....Slap...Slap...hahaha...
