OSX10.3.9 on Power PCG5, upgrade to Leopard possible?

I have 2005 iMac 1.6 GHz PowerPC G5. 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM
Currently running 10.3.9
What is the latest version I can upgrade to and where is the best place to locate a copy of the software? I read about people selling incomplete copies. What do I look for?
Thanks!

Yes you can upgrade to Leopard.

The last & final version is 10.5.8. But you can purchase any version, and upgrade it to 10.5.8 for free via the internet (software update).

Best place to get it is probably eBay?

You want the black disks with a big "X" on it...NOT the grey/silver disks.

A copy from eBay will probably run you $100-$120+ dollars.

what you are looking for is a retail version of Leopard.... it will look somewhat like this (image below), depending on the version of 10.5
As long as they are retail version, you are set, and you can run the software update to go as high as 10.5.8 once installed.

sorry pigoo3... saw your post there only after I hit post.
