[QUOTE="Zedaine, post: 529133, member: 41704"] An archive install is a great solution as well. But a fresh install will ensure a more successful install since it will put the operating system on a clean defragged slate. If you have had the old os on there for more than half of a year I would recommend a clean install. An archive install is very quick and painless and it really does feel more like you are upgrading your old system, but its much cleaner. Wiping and migrating is easy too, it just takes a while. But if you do an archive install just remember to get rid of your old system folder when you have ensured you have everything on your new system. Good luck. P.S. About 10.5.1, I never really had any big issues, except for the finder burning blank disks, haven't checked to see if that works now... the finder bar at the top seems to come up really quick on startup (it came up really slow for me and I could open other apps like firefox and messenger before it would show up). Anyways, have fun with leopard. I've had good experiences with it but my luck seems to be really high. I had good luck with the beta build, the first release, and even installing the 10.5.1 update solely on battery power (Don't do it, I'm nuts, I was asking for problems and I am lucky I didn't get any. :P) [/QUOTE]
