    Quick Mac-related question

    Hi guys just a quick one:
    I picked up a G4 Powermac from my boss. It is running OS X 10.2.2. Does anyone know what the most recent os is that will run on it?

          Colleague of mine tried it some time ago to install leopard over his 10.4.x tiger on a G4 and it failed.

          I guess the new hardware like chipsets/cpu/vga are bundled too much with 10.5

            sometime back i tried leapord on either my pc or laptop dont remmeber, but the lancard doesnt installed and i was not able to find info or tried hard. since then i manage to find some info about broadcom but now newer version iATkos just wont install on my pc, perhaps i should try laptop when i have time.
