[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1321544, member: 24098"] Leopard should certainly install on that system. I don't think you're having a driver issue per se, but maybe one of using the wrong installation media. One of the most common problems we see here that leads to installation issues is when people use the grey "System discs" to install to a machine they weren't originally bundled with. System discs are typically tailored to the machine they were sold with (or at the very least, that particular model line and revision). What you need is a retail version of 10.5. This will be a black disc with the OS X 'X' logo on it. These can be expensive and hard to come by, since it's the latest version of OS X that the older PPC/non-Intel Macs can run and are in high demand. [/QUOTE]
