Apple releases last update for Mac OS X before Leopard's release.

zekrahminator · Mar 15, 2007

The latest version of Mac OS X is now 10.4.9, meaning that this update is probably the last before Leopard is released. Apple improves "graphics drivers, Bluetooth, networking, image handling, font management, sync services, Dashboard widgets and Rosetta, Intel-based Macs' PowerPC compatibility mechanism" in this version of Mac OS X. Applications also load faster in this version of Mac OS X. All of the various updates available for Mac OS X can be grabbed here.

I'm ruuning OS X.4 Tiger on all 3 of my Macs. I've previously run 10.2 and 10.3 on my ppc macs. OS X runs great. It's not the resource hog that some Windows variants can be. It runs perfectly fine on my 1GHz G4 w/ 1GB of ram. You can't expect miracles, but it's a great office, surfing, movie watching machine. OS X.4 also seems quicker than XP on my Core2 iMac.
