First of all, my equipment:
2408 MK II
PM DP 2.0GHZ, 4 GB RAM
Digital Performer 7
I've got Leopard installed however I was wondering if I would see any performance benefits/extra cpu cycles by downgrading to Tiger? My other machine, a MDD G4 DP 1Ghz, was running Leopard, however I put Tiger on that and the performance increase was noticeable. Will the same sort of thinking carry over to the G5 with DP 7?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Eric

Re: Performance: Tiger vs. Leopard
As someone who has never used Leo for DP (allthough I do use it for most other computing tasks) I wonder, too. I can say that when I installed Leopard on an iBook G4, the laptop's performance ebbed considerably.

The installer wouldn't let me install Leopard on my particular iBook G4. Said it wasn't supported. I must have a very early model.HCMarkus wrote:As someone who has never used Leo for DP (allthough I do use it for most other computing tasks) I wonder, too.
