[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 724393, member: 21101"] You know, that's not all that helpful... the OP is asking for advice and a point of view, not just 'yes your machine is capable of running Leopard, here's the link'. Jules - Tiger is a great OS, and most applications will still work fine with it. However your machine will run Leopard. It's worth noting that not all G4's were created equal, and the eMacs G4's were the least equal of them all (they lacked the L3 cache I believe). Additionally it got short changed on the GPU as well. The Radeon 9200 lacked shader support (needed for some of Leopard's effects). You may be able to upgrade to 2GBs according to some sites, but officially it only supports 1GBs. [/QUOTE]
