Hey guys,
I'm looking to possibly go out and buy Leopard, but I'm just wondering it would really even add any beneficial features that Tiger can't do for my computer now.
Here's my setup:
Powerbook G4 15" (Yeah, rockin' the TiBook)
867MHz
768 MB RAM
40 GB Internal HD
Running 10.4.11 at the moment,
10.28 GB free space on the internal HD
No external drive (yet)
I use photoshop pretty regularly, but it's just a personal computer not a work one.
My primary fear of upgrading is the idea that half the new leopard features require a system with better features than mine, and I'm afraid that the whole OS will run slow. Is it worth it when a lot of the apps reworked in Leopard don't even effect my machine?
I'm also probably going to be buying a brand new laptop (mac of course) in 1-1.5 years for college, so Leopard would be bundled with that anyways.
I'm in need of an idea to give my mom for a gift for me, so Leopard is an option, but I would rather get something else if it really wouldn't be terribly beneficial for me.
What do you guys recommend?
