Mac Specs: Powerbook G4 15" 1.25GHz
Conversation with Apple just now.

Hi, my name is ABC(Changed to protect id). Welcome to Apple!
How may I help you today?

Me - I have a 15" Powerbook with 1.25 GH processor. I am running 10.3.9 Panther. I am looking at getting Leopard 10.5 BUT the additional requirements say that the iDVD player are DVD Player requires a 1.6GHz processor or faster for improved de-interlacing. Can I run Leopard?

If so, how do i play DVDs? Can I keep the IDVD from Panther or what?

Them - One moment while I research that for you.

Minimum System Requirements• Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor• 512MB of physical RAM• DVD drive for installation

Do you meet these requirements?


Me - Yes but I don't meet the requirements for the iDVD unless it will work even though I don't have 1.6 GH. BTW I had 512 RAM but pulled one 256 chip set out and put in a 1Meg stick so I have a total of 1.25 Ram. (Doesn't run much faster to be honest.)

Them - Thanks for waiting. I'll be right with you.
It looks like the iDVD may not run optimally.

Me - Will it run? and if so as well as it does now?

Them - It should run like it does now

Me - OK so it looks like I can upgrade to Leopard since I meet all the other specs.

Them I can stay online with you while you complete your order in case you have any other questions about products or the order process.

Me - Thanks but I can handle it from here. Appreciate it. Have a happy new year.

Ssoooo - The question is would you upgrade to Leopard or go to Tiger or stay where I am?
