Jaqs Hey
I hope someone can help me. I have to replace the HD on my powerbook g4. I was told that I could not use leopard on it and had to find tiger, because it would be the only OS that would work on the computer. Is this true?
I don't have tiger or leopard at this moment...what should I get?
reply by
Ben Eisenman It depends on what type of PowerBook G4 you have...
PowerBook G4 Titaniums (Mercury, Onyx, DVI) cannot run leopard.
PowerBook G4 Aluminums (12", 15", 17") can, if you have a heck of a lot of RAM and hard drive space to run it.
You can determine which machine you have here.

gwrivest Actually you can install Leopard on the Titanium 867 and 1ghz PowerBooks if you have enough Ram. There are also ways to install Leopard on any Titanium PowerBook with a utility called "Leopardassist"

Ben Eisenman Good call, gwrivest. I forgot about the 867 MHz and 1 GHz DVIs.
