[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 848896, member: 24160"] You do not need to go thru Tiger to get to Leopard. Luckily Apple does not sell upgrade vs full install disks at varying price points the way some other OS developer does. There is only one consumer retail version of each OS. You do not want to use the simple upgrade when installing. If you're wanting to keep your current settings, etc. you want to use the archive and install option. However, there are many programs that you may have that will not be compatible with Leopard. You should verify that your software will work with Leopard if you do not want to upgrade all of that also. ex. Some older versions of Photoshop will not run under Leopard. You might also want some feedback from some users with that processor to find out their recommendations as to whether Leopard will run fine or if you should stop at Tiger. [/QUOTE]
