Jimi4 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I cannot find the answer anywhere. Will Mac OS Leopard run on only the Mac Pro or will it run on all the Mac Books as well as the Mac Mini? Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Leopard will run on all Intel Macs and PPC Macs back to the G3. From G3 to Xeon, from MacBook to Xserve, there is just one Leopard. http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/64bit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 It'll be interesting to see how well it works on a G3, though. Tiger can be pretty sluggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I am more interested to see if they have pulled some more performance out the kernel. Every new version of OS X has gotten progressively faster on the same hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSXFiles Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 i've found ( looking out other developers systems ) that leopard infact speeds up on G3's, about 1.5 times faster than tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSimizeDenver Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 That sounds great...I think I will take my G3 from the attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabberslasher Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 From what I hear, the current Leopard DVD might not boot on brand new Macs (that come with 10.4.7+) as it uses a slightly older booting revision or something. Any older Mac will work however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 From G3 to Xeon, from MacBook to Xserve, there is just one Leopard. I appears that Apple has dropped G3 support in Leopard. This is a picture from the Leopard readme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 It'll be interesting to see how well it works on a G3, though. Tiger can be pretty sluggish. I beg to differ. the iBook here (dual USB/FireWire, 500MHz G3) with 640 RAM runs Tiger quite smooth. In fact I see a noticeable difference between Panther and Tiger on this machine with Tiger winning. Apple has to make a cutoff somewhere, but I would like to see that cutoff be... G3's with at least 512 RAM and FireWire. It doesn't make sense with the Intel transition to cutoff support for these machines just yet. Unless they have a very good reason that isn't just because they would like to push those people to shinier new MacBooks. I'm a little biased though I will admit being that I have two G3 machines here still in production use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pu7o Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I cannot find the answer anywhere. Will Mac OS Leopard run on only the Mac Pro or will it run on all the Mac Books as well as the Mac Mini? Thanks alot! Obviously, it will only run on the Mac Pro, and to have it run decently, you need at least 4GB of RAM, and the 3.0GHz processor. Oh, and pigs fly.

Oh, I thought Aero needed at least an octo-core SLI/Crossfire with at least 1GB of internal RAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4bren Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Why would Apple release an OS that works on one piece of new, expensive pro hardware. I look forward to running it on 2 G5's and a macbook, maybe even a TiBook (If I upgrade that). I'm glad to hear that it will date back to a G3.
