How does 10.5.8 run on that emac, I have a imac g4 with 512 ram and 800Mhz ppc g4 chip i want to put leopard in

@pd3331 it ran okay.. but it was much more zippy with tiger. 512 mb of ram won't cut it. you're gonna want to max it out.

@marchofthepiggs The CRT monitor of the eMac refreshes faster than the camera does.

@TheDiddykong1980 This is an eMac G4.

I still remember the day I came to school in 1st grade and we walked in the computer lab and there were these super awesome new eMacs, and from there I had decided that I love Apple things.

@superpup2255 Lol that's almost the same story that I have with Apple. So glad my school went with Macs.
