As much as Apple tries to convince you otherwise, your Mac isn't too old to run Mac OS X Leopard.
Now, with LeopardAssist, you can install the latest operating system from Apple on computers that don't meet the minimum requirements.

Essentially, this application tricks the Leopard installer into believing that the computer meets the minimum processor speed, 867 Mhz.
The Mac models that can benefit from this are the following:
- Power Macintosh G4 (AGP Graphics)
- Power Macintosh G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
- Power Macintosh G4 (Digital Audio)
- Power Macintosh G4 Cube
- iMac G4 (Flat Panel)
- eMac (Rev. A 700/800 Mhz, nVidia GFX)
- PowerBook G4
- iBook G4 (800 Mhz)
Comments
I tested it with a Mac from a few years ago, and it allowed me to install Leopard. The truth is, I was pleasantly surprised.
