Chosen Solution

You don't have the processor speed required for 10.5

Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:

A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor

512 MB memory or more

A DVD drive for installation

9 GB of available disk space or more

A 10.5 system can be installed on the hard drive if placed in a G4 867 + MHz processor machine or a G5 and then returned to your machine.
