Is it an iMac, eMac or Power Mac? How much RAM do you have? How much hard disk space do you have? What video card do you have?

256 mb ddr ram (im guessing i might have to add more)
about 30 gb free...

I think my videocard is geforce fx5200(not sure if thats right info)

Upgrade your RAM to at least 1GB. You can install any retail Leopard DVD which will work. Discs that came with machines won't work.
