thanks man, Likewise.

Help anyone ?
I'm not really liking Panther, it's running the old safari and there isn't any update for it :(
 
Tiger for sure, Leopard may be pushing it. I think Leopard's minimum requirements were G4 processor 1Ghz and 512mb of RAM, but those are minimum requirements.

You could actually probably run Leopard since the minimum requirements are 1Ghz and 512 RAM, but if your video card isn't quartz extreme supported you may get some performance issues with the flashy GUI stuff.
