DragonHunter12345 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have decided to try and install OSx86 on my old lappy since Linux has became slower for my laptop. I have gotten Mac OS X Tiger beautifully running and updated it to 10.4.11 without any hitches. Now, I found out that many applications do not work on Tiger and needed Leopard to work. I checked the minimum specs for Leopard and I slightly above the minimum requirements for Leopard. So currently, I have two questions. 1. Will Leopard work on my laptop? And if it does, will there be a performance hit or no performance changes? Tiger runs fine on my laptop and pretty fast. 2. Can I upgrade my current Tiger to Leopard in some way? And will kexts from Tiger work on Leopard? Laptop specs: Compaq Presaio 2200 1.4GHz Intel Celeron Processor 512MB RAM 40GB HDD Intel 825/855GM Graphics Chipset (QE not supported on Tiger) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276433-tiger-to-leopard-questions-and-upgrades/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielw6 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 hello, one of the first ting you need to do is upgrade you memory. I guess your laptop is like mine, a business one. And no, sorry, you can't upgrade tiger to leopard. The thing that worked for me was iatkos v7, a saver! just download it from the pirate bay, put it on a blank dvd and boot from it and serach in our big friend google for the essential .pkg installations for you laptop. hope it works!
