Today is Leopard day, so I figured I'd start this thread for folks to share "Leopard on a Cube" successes and issues.
Here's the Engadget link-- they put it on an old G4 with much success. DVD Player apparently needs 1.6ghz and the original video card is not Core Image, but the basic install went well. http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/leopard...can-it-be-done/ I'm optimistic about the Cube, but there was mention in a different thread about possible 6200 video card issues. Let us all know how your installations are going-- and be specific about your CPU and video card. Here we go (I hope)! |
