sorry, not sure if people have seen this before, but I saw that someone did this:

granted, it was on a G4 upgraded machine

EDIT: updated the title. I left out "Leopard" but very cool nonetheless

That is simply amazing. I am glad I just got a G4 ZIF for one of my G3 Powermacs. Installing Leopard will be added to my 'to do' list.

I'm using Leopard on my dad's brand new iMac right now, and I honestly cannot see myself installing it on any of my computers, ever. Especially not one that could run OS9 as nicely as a beige G3...

I think Steve Jobs is going to have a fit when he hears about this. Not only are G4 machines slower than 867mhz running Leopard in defiance of his edict, now the door has been opened for Old World Macs to run it as well. I guess he can take solace in the fact that Snow Leopard will be Intel only. Oh wait, there's that darn OSX/86 community... :lol:
