[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 841259, member: 8287"] Leopard assist changes Open Firmware temporally to 867Mhz clock speed so leopard will install. I used it on my old 667Mhz G4 Digital Audio for the fun of it to see what 10.5 would do. Works fine for basic usage. I would stick with Tiger but Leopard Assist works fine. If you want a clean install of Leopard, after you run Leopard Assist, you get into the leopard installer, just format or Partition the drive which will kill the old OSX and you will start a clean install. Van, it does work for the basics but will bog down if a lot happens. I just did it to see how it would work. Would never use it for any serious use unless I was so poor I could could not ever purchase a newer Mac. I do completely agree with you Van, Stick with Tiger on a slower G4.
