12 inch. It actually ran Leopard decently with 512MB of RAM.

Thanks everybody!

I agree with this post. My 1.33GHz iBook G4 runs Leopard really, really well with 1.5GB of RAM.

OK, thanks. My Leopard DMG is still downloading, so I will let you know if it worked or not later today.

Only 4.7GB DVDs. The Leopard installer is more than that. So I need to boot from USB.

I need to reinstall Leopard on my iBook G4, however I have no dual-layer DVDs to burn my .dmg to. So, I need to boot from USB. I have heard that this has been done before through Open Firmware. How is this done? I might also need to install on my PMG5, so I'd like a method that works with that...

I don't think a dedicated Apple Hardware Test disc will work. Instead, you need the gray discs from that model of iBook G4. They have the hardware test on them as well as an OS installer. I was able to run the Apple Hardware Test from my gray discs with no trouble on my iBook G4.

I find Mini vMac is a good emulator if you want to run System 7. It isn't a PowerPC emulator, though.

Thanks everybody. I think I'll go with Tiger based on what you're saying. I'm ok with a little slowdown for Leopard features, however this big of a slowdown seems too big. Thanks!

OK. I find that 10.4 runs really well, though. If Leopard is even 60% as fast as that I'm happy.

Hello, I have the original iMac G4, 700MHz with a 15 inch screen. I'd like to start putting it to a lot more use, and that had me wondering about an OS. I have 2 options: 10.4, or 10.5 (unsupported). What do you think is best? I plan to do web browsing, YouTube (with PPC Media Center) music...

I have an original 700MHz iMac G4 (15 inch) I really like it, Tiger and TFF on it make a good combo for basic web browsing. Congrats on your find, it looks really nice!

2012 isn't bad at all, thanks! I will try this once I have Panther working again.

iCab... OK, I'll try it. If I'm not mistaken that no longer supports 10.3, so I have to download an older version, right? I hope it's not too old.

Camino only works on 10.4, however I have tried the older version that is Panther-compatible, and it does not work very well, sadly.

Hello, I am new on this forum so I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Anyway, I have (or had, and will soon) OS X 10.3 Panther installed on my G3 366MHz Clamshell. I find it to be much faster than Tiger. So, are there any good web browser options? I'm OK with something a little bit...

From what I read, this is a problem with your Clamshell, not the drivers or the AirPort card.
