I have a PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.33GHz, 1.25GB RAM). Leopard runs all right, but nowhere as fast as my Intel iMac and later MacBook Pro. I guess I shouldn't compare Intel to PPC

... or a single to a dual (quad?) processor machine; a dual G4 is a much more usable machine even in Tiger than a single, and no doubt Leopard would be the same.

A while ago, I hacked a dual 500 G4 card from a tower into a previously stock G4 Cube, and couldn't quite believe how much better/ smoother it ran under X.4.
