[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1146441, member: 8287"] You never answered my question as to which OS is installed on the Quicksilver at present. 10.5 Leopard BTW wants a 867Mhz G4 and will refuse to install on anything slower. There is a way around it though using a little Utility called Leopard Assist, but Tiger will be the fastest on the 733 overall. I do have 10.5 installed on mine (Using Leopard Assist) and in general it runs fine, but Flash videos are a bit slow and the DVD player app really wants a much faster CPU due to improved interlacing performance on the new DVD player in 10.5. Otherwise it works fine. Keep us posted on what you end up doing. [/QUOTE]
