[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 750010, member: 8287"] Funny thing about the so called Wireless issue. I have an iBook G4 12" 1.33Ghz. Very last 12" iBook before the Intel Macbook. From 10.5.0 I have never had issues connecting to my 5 Routers and WAP's. Never had issue connecting to any WiFi anywhere and in fact it connected to some that even my XP and now Vista notebook with a Broadcom chipset would not connect to at all. On some other machines like my Intel Mini, with one update the WiFi signal strength was being reported lower than it actually was but never an issue connecting. That was fixed by 10.5.2 I believe. Same with my other macs like iMac G5, Powermac with old Airport card, G4 Mini. So whatever issues were there seemed to be with just some machines for some reason. I have helped very smart people with those issues and they were very real, but I have never had one issue with my 5 Macs with 10.5 and Wifi. I would say give it a try. Test everything out. See how you like it. I also agree with Goobie, give it as much RAM as the machine will take. There is a lot more going on in 10.5 than Tiger. [/QUOTE]
