Hey guys! I just recently received a Powerbook G4 15" 1.25ghz 512RAM laptop from a friend. After doing some research on google and these forums I just had a few question.

I originally wanted to upgrade from Panther to Tiger because many things do not run on Panther ex:Newest flashplayer/browsers. After looking around I found out leopard can also run on the powerbooks so I was wondering if it would run smoothly on my laptop.

I plan on upgrading the memory to minimum of 1 gig but able to go up to 2gigs. From what I am told increasing the ram should up my performance quite a bit?

Does anyone else own a powerbook and upgraded to Tiger or Leopard? Does it run smoothly?

Thanks for any input in advance!

OS 10.5 "Leopard"...will run fine. I have it running on slower computers.
