    Upgrade to Snow Leopard?

    I am about to build another Catalyst and wanted to get some info about a few things.

    Is there any benefit to upgrading to Snow Leopard? On my current machine I am at Leopard 10.5.8, just wondering if I should try to find a Leopard install disc for my new machine.

    Heres what I currently have and am happy with the results. Could you guys have a look and tell me where I might want to upgrade on the new machine? Thanks in advance for any help, Matt

    Mac Pro 1.1
    Dual Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz
    8 Gigs of Ram
    ATI Radon X1900 XT 512MB VRAM

    Im using the HD that came with it for my OS and all Applications and I am using an 80 gig Intel SSD for the content that is actually being played back.

    Anywhere you guys think I could upgrade? I was real impressed with the bang for the buck i got out of the SSD.

    Stick with Leopard 10.5.8
    otherwise you may have to upgrade your graphics card too...

    Your Mac Spec is fine - there is no 'need' to upgrade your hardware unless you really want to.

    i dont believe the x1900 has graphics issues resulting from snow leopard changes -

    this is an original v1 macpro - which wont gain anything from being upgraded.

    Would i gain anything by buying a newer (not newest) Mac Pro? Worth the bang for the buck? I was only looking at the same model because I have been real happy with it so far.
