Well, I'll try again, since you evidently didn't look clearly enough the first time.

First and foremost, Mac OS X 10.4 != Mac OS X 10.5.

Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) restricts installation on Old World (pre-iMac, hardware ROM Toolbox), 1st-generation iMac (233MHz), iBook (300MHz), and Lombard (250-300MHz) machines. It installs and runs just fine on any other Macintosh.

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) restricts installation on G4s 800MHz and less (Lamp-iMac and early-model Quicksilver towers) and G3 machines. Leopard will run just fine on the vast majority of G4 machines, and all models of G5.

Stand by them if you will, but, as you can tell, the facts in the article and the content of your post conflict. So, please, check your facts and your numbers before you post.
