was just wondering why people are saying that installing leopard will screw up your pc? does it actually mess up the hardware to a point where its not fixable? or would u b able to format and install windows again n it would work perfectly? im doing a report for my class and installing Leopard on a PC came up in my research so any help is greatly appreciated!

It causes no hardware damage, the problems are usually incompatible hardware since it was not written to run on anything but apple spec hardware. Not that it wont run on any x86 PC, but the specs need to be close an apple machines specs.

But no, it will not damage anything that I know of. 10.3 is probably the best to run for run now anyway. 10.5.x is still in it's life cycle and is only at .2 and still being tweaked. I would stay away from 10.4.

Are you joking me? 10.3 is age old and a complete joke.

I can understand what you are saying about life cycle and all that, and I can understand people who've stayed on 10.4.11.

I have Mac Leopard 10.5.2 on Mac Mini and I discovered a few discrepancies. These were that with ClamXav's sentry enabled it was a bit flaky, and its a bit of a hog on RAM usage. But, I got my hands dirty with the system and -as a power user- tweaked it to my needs.

I see no other issues at all. Plus, 10.3 only runs on outdated hardware.

Why serve in heaven when you can reign in hell?
