[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1006896, member: 140470"] 10.5 is the farthest you can go. New copies of Leopard are hard to find but there are some stores selling them. You just have to find them. Common stores like Best Buy have probably sold all their copies by now. You can find it cheaper if you buy used. Just make sure it's the full retail version and not the OS disc that comes with the computer. I believe Leopard was $129 when new. If you can find a retail copy of 10.4 Tiger for less then it is also a good option. I actually like 10.4 better than 10.5 but I like 10.6 more than both. Either 10.4 or 10.5 will work for you. It just depends on whether the applications you use need 10.4 or 10.5. Some of the more recent applications no longer support older versions of Mac OS X unless you can get the older versions of those software. Also 10.5 added new features but if you don't need them or want them then you can live with 10.4. [/QUOTE]
