alot of shit still isnt compatible with it, since theyve changed all their networking & kernel code, but its nice

im running it on an ibook g4 (1.2ghz, 768mb ram) and its faster than panther was. the widgets are nice too, ive got a tv guide, versiontracker and weather info widgets happening

Post by: The Watcher on May 01, 2005, 02:24:34 AM: how old is it? if its got the 64mb video card then it'll be fine

apple shouldve released it as a update though, not worth payin the money for it. might want to check out if any of the apps you use all the time that apple dont make are compatible with it before upgrading. if you dont mind alot of shit not working, then go & upgrade
