My IMac is the 2gig Intel duo Core version with 1 gig of Ram.
I'm tossing around the idea of upgrading from OSX 10.4.10 to Leopard when it's available.
I don't see any recommendations from Apple on suggested amount of Ram if this is done. I probably didn't look in the right place I'm sure :-)
Anyone have any ideas on this, or a link with some information perhaps?

I doubt Leopard's RAM requirements will be substantially higher than Tiger. 1 GB is probably just fine for Leopard. Adding more RAM will increase efficiency with either OS version.
