Panther upgrade options

[Desslok]

My wife has been using a Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz with 1.5 gigs of RAM for the last couple of years, but now more and more software packages are requiring OSX 10.4 and higher. Is it worth/ possible upgrading to 10.5.4 or should I just try and find and upgrade to 10.4?

Another question, do I need to worry about a COA or does Apple do the activation differently?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

That machine should run Leopard just fine. I would recommend upgrading to 10.5.

I'm not sure what COA means, but Apple doesn't have any activation at all when you install OS X.

Thanks Tyranicus.

COA is from the Windows world Certificate of Authenticity. It is a sticker with the activation code for that copy of Windows.

There isn't much in the way of activation. Just drop in the Leopard Retail disc, and install. There is no serial number to input at any step along the way.
