![]() I am currently running 10.4.6 Tiger on my Intel box and was wanting to upgrade to Leopard, but needed some advice as to weather I should do all of the updates for Tiger first or can I just simply upgrade from this point? The system is running flawlessly other than the usual problems with video driver support. I haven't had any major problems since my first install and would like to avoid any if all possible. I can't get any of the latest software updates to work until I update the OS to the latest version, so I guess that would be my first step.
I need to know from anyone who is currently running Leopard, is there any real advantage to updating to Leopard from Tiger or was it a major hassle? First off I am going to update to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11) before I decide to go any further. Thanks in advance! ![]() Last edited by fairlyodd; 06-20-2009 at 11:09 PM. |

Processor speed and core not posting correctly
One thing I did notice in the system profile is that my processor is posting as a dual core 3.6 GHz? The correct posting should be 3.2GHz single core (I do have the CPU overclocked by 5%).

Will burn support be supported or unsupported?? I haven't tried to burn anything yet, because I am still waiting to see if I can get full support for my video card..still working on that issue. This is quite odd, but I am sure it is fixable. Any ideas? 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
