I have a dell dimension 4700 2.8 p4 running tiger fine apart from the onboard graphics won't do QE/CI, i purchased a soundblaster external 24bit for good sound but now i want to upgrade to leopard, i thought i should upgrade the pc a bit so it works with leopard without too much problems. Can anyone help me by giving me a recommendation of parts i should get for the graphics and sound as these are what i will upgrade.

I heard the nvidia 7600gt works but the 7300gt is better can anyone confirm this?

Many thanks, Shaun

I've got the same piece of {censored} Dell (I'm on it right now!) with a 8400gs. I'm updated to 10.5.8 and EVERYTHING else that is onboard is working just peachy! (Installed just the base from iAtkos v7 & then used iPCs 10.5.6 for my kexts, after that backed all my extensions up, updated, booted verbose [-v], restored my extensions and BAM!) By the way, I'm fixin' to try and get SL runnin' on this ol' dog! I know it can be done....
