I'm wondering if anyone has tested 10.5 on one of the new Al iMacs (either 2.4 or 2.8)?

If so do you see any significant improvement in the video performance in 10.5 relative to 10.4?

Any other observed changes in performance?

Thanks
 
If they're legit testers, then they've signed a non-disclosure agreement that doesn't allow them to talk about stuff like that. :(
 
I know I shouldn't, but I have tried it with an alu iMac. And it works as well as it does on any other modern Mac (going on reports ive read). Strangely, it did seem to contain later graphics driver revisions, but if you were wondering if the freezing issue is fixed in Leopard.. In my experience, it most definitely is not. Someone else on a couple of other forums has reported the freezing as fixed in Leopard, but the guy seems a bit stupid, and I dont trust him any further than I could throw him.

Xbench did show some performance improvements in Leopard in nearly all of the tests it ran.

Nice OS and im looking forward to getting the final release. I just wish my new iMac was as good :rolleyes:
 
I'm running the latest Leopard seed on my 24" Al iMac. All I will say is that I haven't booted into Tiger for weeks. ;)
 
OT: Entry Level MBP OK for Leopard?

I hope to be getting an MBP soon, maybe as soon as next month, and I was wondering.. would the entry level 2.2 GHz with the 128 MB GPU be ok? I won't be doing any crazy 3D (though some) animation or gaming. Would it run Leopard well? I know you're all going to recommend me the midrange, and I might end up getting that if I can bare to save up to that lol.

My Leopard loves playing with my Mac. I've captured all kinds of great performances on video.

... Oh, wait... That's not what you were after is it :p
 
I think at this point I'm just going to have to wait for macs to start shipping with Leopard..

A little worrisome that the freezing issue exists in Leopard as well..
