MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Target: Mac iBook PowerPC G4 with Mac OS X10.3.5 Panther and after MacBook and iMac Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1. All Mac OS X were connected on intranet lan of an italian ISP. Download this theme for 10.5 Leopard to make it look like OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion! Download includes an installer, uninstaller, and readme file. Please read the readme file first. Mountain Leopard. We were given a bunch of iMac G4 17 inchers from the university surplus. All the iMacs have been wiped and have no OS on them. I do however have a copy of Snow Leopard that I would like install on them but have been having some troubles. First off, the only Apple equipment I have are the iMacs. I have no Apple keyboards, only IBM keyboards. The Apple Power Macintosh G4/1.42 DP (Firewire 800) features dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4) processors each with the AltiVec 'Velocity Engine' vector processing unit, 256k 'on chip' level 2 cache, and 2 MB of DDR SRAM level 3 backside cache.

I have an iBook G4 (PPC processor) with OS X 10.3.9 Panther, and would like to upgrade to Tiger or Leopard as Apple does not support Panther anymore.
What would you recommend as the minimum requirements so that the system doesn't run too slow realistically?
I assume there would not be incompatibility issues with such an upgrade, at least with the Apple software that came with the iBook.
Some people seem to have performance issues with Leopard on new Macs more powerful than mine. But a person used Disk Utility under Applications and that solved the problem for them.
I was thinking to wait until next year that Snow Leopard comes out. That is when Apple may presumably stop supporting Tiger. However initial info says that Snow Leopard will work only on Intel Macs :-(
(Not to mention the amount of processing power and RAM required, prehaps more than the full RAM on my IBook).
Thanks.
