[QUOTE="gemigene, post: 528985, member: 18404"] Hi, On Monday, I purchased a new iMac 24 2.4GHz with an extra GB Ram and it came preloaded with OS-10 version 10.4.10. During setup, I used the Migration assistant to move all of my contents from my older iMac 17 (Intel Core Duo) to my new machine using a Firewire cable and everything went great. Being eligible for the $9.95 Leopard Upgrade DVD, I ordered it from Apple and it came in today. So, I'm wondering what would be the best, problem-free installation method: - Do a fresh install of Leopard and do the migration once again from my older iMac while Leopard is installing? - Do a fresh Leopard install and once complete and rebooted, do the Migration? Also, according to some of the horror stories I read on this forum (sluggishness, dock, torrents downloads and Airport issues, etc., should I go ahead and install or should I wait for 10.5.1? Any input or help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gene p.s. Love my new aluminum iMac, the 24" glossy screen is beautiful and the new keyboard is a pleasure to use. :D [/QUOTE]
