imac gm non intel can i run leopard 10.5

i just bought a imac g5 with non intel chip can i still run leopard 10.5 on it?

yes, Leopard will run on a G4 chip at 800 Mhz and above, so the G5 will easily run Leopard

thanks for your quick reply

thank you for your quick reply. i am new to the mac world and just want to put the mac back to new condition and get rid of the other persons files.

I thought Leopard required 867mhz, but still the same difference for you.

Pop in the Leopard DVD and do a clean install which formats the drive and gets rid of all old files, and you then set a new ID and password. Make sure the machine has adequate memory as Leopard is a hungry cat!

it has 1.5 gig of ram

800mhz or 867mhz...close enough. I know some folks that run Leopard (10.5) on even slower Mac's...and they're still happy with the performance.

So 800 or 867mhz...it's just a recommendation, not a requirement.
