[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1407469, member: 8287"] 10.5 Leopard (TO ME) is the most draggy version of OSX I have ever used. Takes ages to boot up. BUT, you are stuck with it as if you went back to say 10.4 Tiger you would be in even worse shape browser and app wise. Most of what you are seeing is just old Browser versions and the modern web. On my 2.1 Ghz IMac G5, 10.5.8 on the web is not that slow or draggy. Just when compared to an Intel based Mac with 10.6 do I see the difference. One thing you might do is clean up the OS a bit as that might help a lot. Download a version of [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx"]Onyx[/URL] (be sure you get the correct version for 10.5) and run all the maintenance and cleanup tasks. That might make a large difference. Did the machine come with an OSX DVD at all? If so I would suggest reinstalling the OS and putting it in your name as you never know what it's previous owner has done with it. [/QUOTE]
