iMac 1.8GHz - Should I upgrade to Tiger

Oct 14, 2005 1:31PM PDT

I have an iMac 1.8GHz G5 and I am considering upgrading from Panther to Tiger. I have read a few things where people say that Tiger will significantly slow my Mac down. I have 256 megs of RAM. Any advice?

I agree with the previous post eitehr double or max out your ram. I have a 1.8 iMac also with 1GB ram running on Tiger. Love it. Performs great.
